What happens

The House of a Thousand Candles is a 1936 American thriller film directed by Arthur Lubin and starring Phillips Holmes, Mae Clarke and Irving Pichel. The title is taken from the 1905 novel by Meredith Nicholson, but the story is entirely different. The novel had been filmed twice before, once in 1915 (as The House of a Thousand Candles) and again in 1919 by Henry King (under the title Haunting Shadows). Lubin called it "the first very big picture that Republic did." A British secret service agent is sent to try to prevent a plot to derail a peace conference in Geneva and threaten international peace. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
