Beautifully shot in black and white by expert Arthur Grant, there is nothing much to this Hammer production: it is a little film about an avenging cat called Tabitha. In the story, Tabitha witnesses the murder of her "slave" (according to experts on cats' perceptions), by relatives who want the old lady's fortune. Other greedy characters arrive and Tabitha's revenge takes effect.
It was John Gilling's idea to materialize Tabitha, instead of recurring to her shadow whenever one of the evil characters dies, and using a distorting lens to suggest Tabitha's point of view of her. Not much happens, but enough to fill an hour of entertainment. As usual, Freda Jackson overacts, but she gets her way with honors.
