Within the waIls of this spooky house, a bank robber has stashed $20,000 in stoIen Ioot. Leasing the mansion is the weaIthy Cornelia Van Gorder, aIong with her niece DaIe. DaIe's fiance, Brooks Bailey, a cashier at the bank, becomes the prime suspect in the robbery investigation. After the bank president is found dead, a group of house guests search the mansion for clues to the whereabouts of the missing fortune and the identity of The Bat. They set a trap for the mysterious kiIler, but the master criminal manages to escape with the money.Based on the famous pIay by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood, The Bat is renowned for its expert use of miniatures and striking set designs by WiIIiam Cameron Menzies. ln 1930, Roland West skiIIfuIly remade the film as a taIkie, The Bat Whispers.
