“One night, a chilling crime shatters the silence of a boarding school: a governess is found poisoned. In the darkness, a witness recalls an eerie sound drifting from her room—a sinister hiss, like that of a rattlesnake. The inspector assigned to the case wastes no time, casting suspicion on a student whose bed lies just beside the victim’s. Yet as the investigation deepens and doubts begin to surface, the truth emerges in a far more terrifying form: the killer—a dangerous and unhinged man—is none other than the school’s own chef.”

A lost Raffaello Matarazzo giallo. The film may not have survived but a complete copy of the shooting script has appeared on eBay courtesy of poster.it
