"You don't understand"

On a ship crossing the English Channel, Barry Wilding (Leslie Fenton) rescues a mysterious woman (Muriel Evans) who is apparently being molested. He immediately falls in love. However, she will not tell him who she is. Barry decides to stay in London, find the girl, and marry her. While waiting there, he is contacted by his lawyer, who later admits he was the deceased uncle's solicitor. You guessed it: he has inherited an old mansion from a rich recently deceased uncle, "The Hawk's Nest", a large estate outside London. Upon trying to possess the mansion, he is mugged and run off at gunpoint. The local police will not help; Scotland Yard will not help; even his best friend (a detective here on a case) will not help. Everyone says sell and get out. To make matters worse, the girl shows up and says, "You don't understand". She is living at the mansion and says sell and get out. That leaves only three possibilities: hidden treasure, nefarious gang activities (shielded by the government), or ghosts. As Barry approaches the mansion again, he hears a blood-curdling shriek and a hideous, insane laugh. The whole film and story are executed quite well. However, you will climb the walls if they do not quit saying "You don't understand." If you use closed caption, it is not exactly accurate and is all in lower case.
