It’s the third night in the City of the Dead. Captain Friday locks Jimmy Parker and Phyllis Carroll together in a room. Later, Friday and his father discover three corpses. One had been strangled. The second is the body of the man killed by the Claw-footed Phantom. The last appears to have been inexplicably frightened to death.

After a night of unearthly events and sudden death that all seem to be centered around the caretaker’s cottage in the City of The Dead, Captain Friday wakes to find a phantom figure roaming about.

In this episode of Carlton E. Morse’s The City of the Dead, three men stand on the edge of a partially open grave. A fourth stands in the grave whispering, “I’ve struck something. Something awful.”

The mystery deepens in The City of the Dead as Capt. Friday, his father, Doc Tuner, Jimmy, and Phyllis look for a murderer, a missing corpse and a “claw-footed man.”

Barbara Stanwyck, Van Heflin, Lizabeth Scott, and Kirk Douglas star in this 1946 film noir about a husband and wife who share a dark secret from the past.
