La bestia con cinco dedos (1947)
En una pequeña villa italiana un rico millonario muere tras sufrir un extraño accidente, dejando toda su fortuna a su enfermera. Ello provoca lógicamente el descontento de la familia y de su secretario, quienes no tardarán en intentar impugnar el testamento ayudados por el propio abogado del difunto. Esa misma noche, empiezan a sucederse hechos extraños: el piano no cesa de sonar aunque nadie lo toca, la cripta del difunto se ilumina por la noche y el abogado aparece muerto víctima de lo que parece ser un estrangulamiento. A la mañana siguiente, los habitantes de la mansión deciden investigar en la cripta, descubriendo que al difunto le falta una mano...
