ll is not well at the home of Jack and Bella Manningham. For some unaccountable reason the light from the gas lamps starts dipping in a sinister way. Why, wonders Bella? Is she imagining it ?

Bella’s in torment until the sudden appearance at the door of a man called Rough. Will he convince her she’s mad or will he bring her to quite a different and frightening conclusion ? Creepy goings-on in fog-bound Victorian London. Goings- on to ensure you will stay on the edge of your seat as this classic melodrama unfolds.
