Synopsis
Abner Scanlon was a gigolo who disliked work and preyed on rich women. When he marries a young girl from one of the South's richest clans, he discovers that she has no money at all. Greedy for money, Abner sells the family's antique vase and begins living it up, leading to a violent outburst and Aunt Martha dying from a heart attack. When he removes great-great grandfather's picture out of a valuable frame in order to sell the frame, Claudia's father dies. Claudia later hears a scream from the attic, and enters to find Abner dead on the floor, pierced by a sword....
