In 'Maria Marten - The Murder in the Red Barn' (1935), Squire (Slaughter) abuses Maria (Sophie Stewart), a young country girl, and kills her in a red barn after he finds out that she is pregnant with his child. Maria, however, does not rest in peace... In 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' (1936), Slaughter stars as the notorious Fleet Street barber who amasses a tidy fortune by cutting sailors' throats and disposing of their bodies in home-made meat pies. All goes well until he falls in love with a young woman and incites the jealousy of his elderly female accomplice. In 'The Crimes of Stephen Hawke' (1936), Slaughter stars as crazed killer The Spinebreaker, who is terrorising London with a series of grisly murders. When he comes under suspicion by the police, he leaves the city, but is forced to return to save his daughter from the villainous police chief. In 'It's Never Too Late to Mend' (1937), Slaughter stars as evil prison administrator Squire John Meadows who cruelly abuses the inmates at his prison, until one day the tables are turned. In 'The Ticket of Leave Man' (1937), an innocent man has been framed for a series of killings which were actually the work a brutal murderer known as 'The Tiger' (Slaughter). Can he find a way to put a stop to The Tiger and secure his innocence? In 'Sexton Blake and the Hooded Terror' (1938), Detective Sexton Blake (George Curzon) is tasked with unravelling a sinister criminal organisation, with mastermind Michael Larron (Slaughter) pulling its strings. In 'The Face at the Window' (1939), a bank clerk has been accused of perpetrating a series of vicious murders in 1880s Paris and Chevalier Lucio del Gardo (Slaughter) will stop at nothing to bring him to justice, regardless of his innocence. Finally, in 'Crimes at the Dark House' (1940), the heir of a vast estate is murdered, only for his killer (Slaughter) to impersonate his victim to use the estate to rid himself of his enemies.
