One Body Too Many is a 1944 cult film directed by Frank McDonald, starring Bela Lugosi and Jack Haley. A timid insurance salesman Albert L. Tuttle Jack Haley decides to place a call upon an eccentric recluse at his mansion only to find that he has just died. What he also finds is a home full of relatives who are, according to the will, all bound to remain in the mansion until the authorities arrive to claim the body. Seeing that man's niece, Carol Dunlap (Jean Parker), may be in harm's way, Tuttle decides to remain at the mansion to protect her from harm while they discover who killed her uncle.
