The police arrest a man climbing over the wall of a cemetery after midnight. He claims that he is being blackmailed and is following instructions he received by mail to leave $1000 on a certain grave. It turns out that he's not the only one who got a blackmail letter from the same person--calling himself "The Black Panther"--and it also turns out that all the recipients are connected to an opera company.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tight noir-tinged mystery where a phantom blackmailer targets members of an opera company, using their secrets and fears as leverage. It's a game of cat-and-mouse played in shadows and graveyards, racing to unmask the figure pulling invisible strings.
