Marc McDermott is in jail for theft and murder and other bad things like that. Certainly, Miriam Nesbitt is angry with him, and testified against him in court. However, thanks to his crack detective, Harry Mason, he has a trick up his sleeve: a cinematic one.
Serials were popular when this was made, and not the sort of for-the-kiddies efforts that lingered in the Saturday matinees into the 1950s. This was a major effort, with the story serialized not only on the screen but, as the credits tell us, in a leading story magazine of the day. This was the tenth and final episode of the serial THE MAN WHO DISAPPEARED.
Unfortunately, this, like several other contemporaries, is affected with the problem that unless you know what is going on by reading the magazine and/or seeing the earlier episodes, you will likely have no idea of what is going on. I had none, and find it baffling and boring as a result.
