Synopsis for "Jack the Ripper"
An American hears stories of a new murder attributed to Jack the Ripper, who has been dead for 20 years, and figures the English are perpetuating a hoax and goes to England to prove that he is really dead. Although the local police try to dissuade him, he locates the cemetery where Jack the Ripper is buried. The caretaker directs him to the grave, but will not accompany him, claiming it is haunted.
