When a wealthy admirer secretly leases the decaying Château St. Ferréol to save his beloved Countess from poverty, he expects only a solitary night in the Savoy mountains. But the ancient servants warn him of the Headsman’s Chamber, where a restless ancestor spends the darkness dragging heavy furniture across the floor. Determined to prove his mettle, our hero confronts the noisy spirit. What he uncovers behind the massive oak buffet reveals a centuries-old secret and perhaps the only key to winning the proud Countess’s hand.
