Description
A decaying mansion and a stormy night are the archetypal setting for mystery and chaos when a pack of greedy relatives gather for the reading of a twenty-year-old will. But before the West fortune can be handed down, the family must endure a night in the cavernous manor, unnerved by the news that an escaped lunatic is at large.

Description
Gwynplaine is doomed to live life wearing a perpetual grin, carved on his face because his father, Lord Clancharlie, offended England's king. Gwynplaine grows up alongside the beautiful but blind Dea and they fall in love. Queen Anne, meanwhile, has ascended the throne and when she learns that the femme fatale, Duchess Josiana, is in possession of the Lord's estates, she decrees that the Duchess must marry Gwynplaine, the rightful heir.
