Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, travels from London to sort out her papers. At the funeral, he sees a mysterious young woman dressed in black (not surprising really since it was a funeral) and that kicks off the great mystery. Who is she? Where did she come from? Where is she going? What color underwear does she wear? And so on. Well, 3 million people enjoyed ... er ... were frightened by it.
