Charles Laughton plays the sadistic Sire Alain de Maletroit in The Strange Door. Maletroit has kept his own brother locked in a dungeon for twenty years, and now wants to ruin the life of his niece by forcing her to marry a violent rogue. His plan is upset when the “rogue” is unexpectedly noble-hearted and attempts to rescue the girl, aided by an abused servant (Boris Karloff). (Eureka Entertainment)
