DIRECTOR: David Wickes

PLOT: In the late 1800s, an alcoholic Scotland Yard inspector investigates the Jack the Ripper murders in London’s East End and discovers a conspiracy that reaches the top of British society.
MORAL OF THE STORY: The biggest conspiracy is the conspiracy to cover up the conspiracy.
