Hollywood once again demonstrates how flush with imported talent it was with this plush Republic potboiler (thanks to what are presumably standing sets handsomely lit) starring Sir C.Aubrey Smith and Erich von Stroheim! The latter looks extremely dashing in a toupee as a Bond villain set on adding the Mona Lisa to his collection of stolen masterpieces. (Both are supposed to be experts on art, yet fail to notice that the film's McGuffin is obviously a quickly knocked up copy.)
A sort of sequel to the same director's 'Secrets of Scotland Yard' of the previous year; the actual Scotland Yard Investigator who gives the film it's title being in fact very marginal to the proceedings.
