In London in 1889, retiree Robert Burton and his wife, Ellen, rent a spare room to the mysterious Slade as Jack the Ripper continues to terrorize the city. The Burtons' niece, Kitty, is a music hall singer who initially grows fond of the eccentric lodger, but, when the Ripper's body count rises, she and a Scotland Yard inspector gradually begin to suspect that Slade could be the notorious Whitechapel killer.
