A killer stalks the heirs of an eccentric man who requires them to stay for a week together at his mansion in order to inherit — and their greed proves fatal for some, as the titular scarf makes its appearance in the hands of a murderer. This is a pleasing if rather unoriginal Edgar Wallace Krimi, originally titled Das indische Tuch, with some of the usual actors, including Klaus Kinski and Eddie Arent, as well as a house full of secrets and a plot full of (not necessarily unexpected) twists.

  Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.
