Berton Churchill and Ray Walker are drafted in to investigate the murder of a reclusive millionaire in this short, quite punchy little crime drama. It's presented in a slightly theatrical style - particularly Irene Ware ("Elsa Carson") who plays the niece, who much to the chagrin of her guardian, is keen on Walker; and the script is very much of it's time. EE Clive and Aggie Herring do well as the domestic staff and there's a brief appearance by Hedda Hopper, too. It's a little Agatha Christie light; but passes an hour easily enough.
