THE WITCHING HOUR.

Jack Brookfield (John Halliday) runs a gambling gathering at nighttime in his Kentucky house. His daughter Nancy (Judith Allen) is frequently visited by and becomes engaged to young Northern architect Clay Thorne (Tom Brown) Clay becomes terrified when he sees a cats-eye ring (collateral put up by Lew) on Brookfield's finger. Brookfield hypnotizes the young man without realizing it. The trial goes badly for the defense; even the testimony of Dr. von Strohn (Ferdinand Gottschalk), an eminent expert in hypnosis, cannot turn the tide.
