Mysterious house, odd will reading and an uncle who may or may not be dead.
3 April 2022
Some similarities with Abbot and Costello's Hold That Ghost, but less slapstick-y. I have to say I might enjoy this less slapstick version.

In this story, Ernie needs to go to spend the night in an ancestral home for the reading of the will of his Uncle Gerald. He meets relatives at the reading of the will with whom he hasn't met and he brings his friend and legal adviser Sydney with him.

Once the will is read they discover that they didn't inherit anything...and then people start showing up dead.

It is a fun little mystery with odd characters and lots of secret doors and passages.

"Sydney, This is no time for levity!"-Ernie

"There's danger here."-Butler "That's the understatement of the evening."-Sydney

"Why do I always have to stay with the women?"-Ernie "Because someone has to look after you."-Sydney.
