Talk:The Strange Door

Clarify "Plot" please
This is an absolute mess. In addition to an unparsable run-on sentence and innumerable undefined pronouns, it seems to be a slightly reworded plagiarism of the plot summary from IMDB, which reads thusly:
 * Noble-born cad Dennis (Stapley) has been tricked into a forced stay at the eerie manor of the Sire de Maletroit (Laughton), an evil madman who can't get over the death of his beloved, twenty years after she married his brother (Cavanagh) instead and subsequently passed away during childbirth. Maletroit is determined to have his revenge: the brother has been stowed away in the dungeon for two decades, while he's convinced his disreputable house guest will make a suitably hellish husband for his niece. As luck would have it, the young couple manage to fall in love, and with the help of manservant Voltan (Karloff), they try to make their escape, but not before a final confrontation with Maletroit in the dungeon's crushing deathtrap.

This version isn't much better (still suffers from run-on and undefined pronouns) but at least it attempts to completely describe the primary action, unlike the thief who lifted it. Can someone with a clue do a useful rewrite on this? 12.22.250.4 22:01, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
