Meanwhile, an inmate from a nearby insane asylum breaks loose and makes his way to the old mansion to take bloody revenge for a crime kept hidden for 35 years. The maniac makes mysterious phone calls to various prominent citizens, telling them that “Marianne” has returned, and lures each to the Butler house to meet their doom. The mayor’s daughter, Diane, receives a visit from a man who claims to be Jeremy Butler, the mansion’s owner, in town to investigate his lawyer’s disappearance. Together they attempt to unravel the sinister mystery of the Butler house, which turns out to be a harrowing tale of incest, insanity and mass murder.
