Midnight Lace

Kit Preston, an American heiress, faces a terrifying moment as she strolls through the fog-laden streets of London, hearing a disembodied male voice threatening her life. This ominous warning sets the stage for an escalating series of threats that will unfold in her life.

The following day, Kit's husband, Tony, discovers that a significant amount of money is missing from his business. This financial mystery coincides with the threats against Kit, creating turmoil in their lives.

After returning home, Kit encounters a gaunt figure fixated on her. She narrowly escapes danger when a falling girder nearly hits her, saved just in time by Brian Younger, a contractor.

Kit receives yet another menacing phone call from the disembodied voice, deepening her sense of anxiety and paranoia. This call marks a terrifying escalation in her nightmare.

Worried about Kit's safety, her neighbor Peggy contacts Tony, who rushes home to help. They visit Scotland Yard, but Inspector Byrnes dismisses Kit's fears as mere attempts at garnering attention.

In her moment of distress, Kit finds solace in a visit from her Aunt Bea. Kit opens up about her troubling experiences, and Bea provides her with the reassurance she desperately needs.

Due to business obligations, Tony cancels their planned trip to Venice, which frustrates Kit further amid her already escalating fears. This disappointment intensifies the strain on their relationship.

One day, while at home, Kit finds herself trapped in a malfunctioning elevator. In a frantic moment, she desperately presses buttons until Brian arrives, trying to assist her from above.

Kit and Tony attend a ballet performance with Bea, Malcolm, and Charles Manning. During the event, Malcolm hints at needing more support for his mother, raising suspicion in Tony about his connection to the threats.

As days pass, Kit becomes increasingly paranoid, haunted by the gaunt figure who appears in her home. She screams in terror as Brian responds to her cries, but the police find no evidence of intrusion.

Kit has a close encounter with death when she is pushed into traffic by the gaunt figure but narrowly escapes being hit by a bus. This frightening experience leaves her feeling more vulnerable than ever.

In a bid to prove her reality, Kit enlists Peggy to simulate a call from her stalker, hoping to convince the authorities of her plight. However, when the phone mysteriously disconnects, her fears deepen.

Convinced of her instability, Tony and Bea decide to take Kit to see a psychiatrist. This decision is devastating for Kit, who feels her reality slipping through her fingers.

As Tony prepares for a business trip, the elusive caller strikes again. Brian follows the gaunt figure, while Kit confronts her darkest fears as she finds him waiting in her dark apartment.

In a shocking twist, Kit learns that the gaunt figure is actually Peggy's estranged husband, seeking revenge. Kit seizes the moment to escape her tormentors, with Brian's timely help, as Inspector Byrnes reveals the truth about Tony's betrayal.
