A new lodger (played by Ivor Novello) is suspected by the landlady (played by Marie Ault) and her husband (played by Arthur Chesney) of possibly being the infamous "Jack the Ripper." However, their daughter Daisy Bunting (played by Joan Barry), who is currently a model, is deeply attracted to him. Daisy's boyfriend, Detective Joe Bates (played by Malcolm Keen), becomes jealous and, under the landlady's encouragement, obtains a search warrant to invade his room. The police then find a handgun and a map marking previous murder locations, as well as a photograph of the first victim. The lodger claims that the girl is his sister and that he is just trying to find the real murderer, but the police arrest him anyway. With Daisy's help, he escapes, but is later discovered in a bar while still handcuffed, forcing him into a corner. There is a memorable shot in the film, referred to by Hitchcock as a way to replace sound in the silent film era, where "the lodger's gloved right hand slowly slides down the stair railing."
