Ruddigore

Directed by Joy Batchelor

With John Reed, David Palmer, Kenneth Sandford, Ann Hood and Peggy Ann Jones

The Baronet of Ruddigore, Sir Despard Murgatroyd, has inherited a family curse which forces him to commit a crime every day — or die in agony. He hates the curse, doing his heinous misdeeds as early as possible and good works for the rest of the day to compensate!
