My Name Is Julia Ross

Julia Ross (Nina Foch), an American receiving medical treatment in London, finds herself short on money and takes a job as secretary for Mrs. Hughes (May Whitty), the matriarch of a large estate. Julie meets Mrs. Hughes' son Ralph (George Macready), a mysterious gentleman with a facial scar, shortly before eating lunch and falling into a deep sleep. When she awakes, she's in a different home with a high fence, and everyone around her insists that she's Ralph's wife, just home after a stay in a mental institution. Julia learns that she's being held captive by the family so that she can be murdered; the death will be made to look like a suicide and serve as a cover for the recent death of Ralph's real wife, whom he killed. A panicked Julia desperately tries to contact her boyfriend, Dennis (Roland Varno), one of the only people in England who might be able to help her.
