An eccentric millionaire has died without leaving a will, instead secreting his money and gems in obscure places around his large house. His widow has hired a professional thief to find and retrieve these items. However the dead millionaire's strange pets have now overrun the mansion and do not take kindly to interlopers.
Gameplay
The player controls a thief, named "Raffles" in some versions of the game and "Devon Aire" in others, who must explore a large mansion looking for valuables, while avoiding the various hostile creatures that inhabit the house.
