What happens

Castle Sinister is a 1948 British second feature ('B') mystery film directed by Oscar Burn and starring Mary Taviner (credited as Mara Russell-Tavernan). It was remade in 1954 as The Devil's Jest, again starring Mary Taviner. During the Second World War, a military intelligence officer travels to Glenye Castle in Scotland to investigate the death of an officer and the disappearance of another. Both are attributed to the castle's mysterious phantom but actually are the work of an enemy agent. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
