Edgar Wallace 
Feuer im Schloß 

Feuer im Schloß Edgar Wallace – ‘Der Alte’ heißt ein geisteskranker Verbrecher, der aus der Irrenanstalt von Sketchley Hill in der Nähe von London ausbricht. Kurze Zeit später stellt Lord Arranway einen nächtlichen Einbrecher in seinem Schloss. Als er seine Waffe auf den Mann richtet, verhindert Lady Arranway einen Mord. Und doch brennt das Schloss einige Zeit später bis auf die Grundmauern nieder.
