A Haunted Heiress Synopsis
On the brink of starvation, and with the landlady at her heels for the room rent, Edna receives word from her lawyer that her grandfather's estate has been settled. The crooked lawyer wants to gain possession of the dilapidated estate of her grandfather, but she suspects his over eagerness and refuses to sell. She goes to the old homestead whence she has been preceded by the lawyer's henchmen, who perpetrate a reign of terror by simulating spooks in an effort to frighten her into selling. She battles the spooks and a mysterious black robed figure helps her until the ghosts are driven out. The rescuer turns out to be the lawyer's assistant, who took pity on the persecuted maiden and fell in love with her at first sight. The feeling is mutual.
