Mystery novelist Edmund Lowe and house detective Victor McLaglen try to figure out why a guest committed suicide..... or was he murdered?
With Eugene Forde directing, you can be assured this late Fox programmer will be efficient. Unfortunately, it has one of the problems of a lot of mysteries: too much talk. While clearly intended to play off the leads' Quirt-and-Flagg competitive comradery, a large cast of suspects and a solution that seems to come out of nowhere make this another weak movie, typical of much of the Fox output in the period leading up to the merger with 20th Century. With Mary Carlisle, Henry Stephenson, John Qualen and Madge Bellamy.
