What happens

The Ghost Camera is a 1933 British mystery film directed by Bernard Vorhaus, starring Henry Kendall, Ida Lupino and John Mills. It was written by H. Fowler Mear based on "A Mystery Narrative", a short story by Joseph Jefferson Farjeon. Despite being made quickly on a low budget, the film has come to be considered one of the most successful Quota quickies made during the 1930s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
