The reformed internationally famed jewel thief is back in the guise of GERALD MOHR, replacing the late WARREN WILLIAM. He looks comfortable in the role.The story, of course, starts with a jewel robbery and he, once again, is the prime suspect. The name "Michael Lanyard" is mentioned at least a dozen times in the opening scene which seems to be overdoing the explanatory exposition to the nth degree.But the film itself is nicely paced, well written and smoothly acted by the entire case. ERIC BLORE, who describes himself as "a gentleman's gentleman or a cad's cad" is on hand again for plenty of comedy relief. EVELYN ANKERS is a woman of mystery (as usual), adding to the intrigue of the plot, which has the Lone Wolf solving a theft from the Scotland Yard safe. Seems the Lone Wolf is in need of cash, having spent all his money on research for his new book about famous jewels, especially a pair called The Eyes of the Nile. He's not the only character in need of heavy cash, thus the set-up for some stolen jewels that are the center of the mystery.As usual, the plot unwinds at a fast pace and all the loose ends are tied up during the last five minutes.Summing up: Nothing special, but not bad as far as these series go.
