Theater des Grauens (1973)
Die Polizei steht vor einem Rätsel: Ein Wahnsinniger tötet einen renommierten Theaterkritiker nach dem anderen und keiner hat auch nur den leisesten Verdacht. Peregrine Devlin Vorsitzender des Kritikerzirkels, kommt jedoch eine Idee: Er hält den seit zwei Jahren als tot erachteten Shakespeare-Mimen Edward Lionheart für den Mörder, denn die Taten wurden allesamt wie die Morde in Shakespeares Dramen verübt. Außerdem verwehrte der Kritikerzirkel Lionheart damals den so sicher geglaubten Kritikerpreis, worauf der Schauspieler sich anscheinend selbst umbrachte. Trotz Polizeischutz für die noch lebenden Kritiker kennt der Einfallsreichtum von Lionheart, der alles andere als tot ist, keine Grenzen und so holt er sich einen nach dem anderen...
