Synopsis

Here's a suspenseful, action-packed thriller from the pen of England's foremost adventure writer, Edgar Wallace, dramatized for simple stage production.

Villainous Chicago tycoon Abel Bellamy, purchases England's Garre Castle, a forbidding fortress haunted by the ghost of the Green Archer, who was hanged from a castle beam in the fifteenth century.

To carry out a vengeful plot, Bellamy has imprisoned the mysterious Elaine Held beneath the walls and surrounded himself with a treacherous retinue of criminal types and unsuspecting guests-some marked for death!

The emphasis here is on nerve-lashing adventure and good old-fashioned stage thrills.
