At a winner-takes-all reading of a will in an isolated mansion, a surprise condition provides motive for murder ...
Corny murder mystery played for mild laughs, mainly through the hero's glib patter - although he does seem a bit edgy when telling one of the old ladies to shut up. Lots of running down corridors from room to room, people splitting up when they should stay together, and responses to cries for help that come slowly or quickly, according to the needs of the scene.
Nothing special about the production. The music is overbearing, but not hugely.
Overall, faintly amusing ancestor of Scooby Doo.
