The Psychopath

Four men who were involved in the investigation of a German millionaire at the end of World War II are found murdered with tiny dolls left next to their corpses. Inspector Holloway (Patrick Wymark) is investigating a series of brutal murders in which a doll of each victim is found at the scene. The dolls, as it turns out, were purchased by the crippled Mrs. Von Sturm (Margaret Johnston), whose house is overcrowded with a doll collection. Her pale, wide-eyed, neurotic son Mark (Sir John Standing) becomes the prime suspect, but are the Police mistaken? The daughter of one of the victims discovers the shocking truth. —alfiehitchie Inspector Holloway (Patrick Wymark) investigates a series of bizarre murders where a doll bearing the victim's likeness is left at the scene.
