The story

During the Napoleonic Wars an Englishman, Philip Wraydon, is sent into exile in a French insane asylum to avoid being hanged for the murder of his brothers wife, to whom he had made rejected advances. He agrees to become a spy for France, and returns to England to murder or frame for murder the remaining members of his family so that he can inherit the family fortune. It does not feature the legendary Victorian character Spring-heeled Jack;the name is used in the film simply as a nickname for Philip's nephew Jack Wraydon, who is athletic and able to leap long distances, although this barely features in the plot.
