    A strange attempt to make a movie attraction based on a staid BBC radio panel show. The regulars of the show appear as themselves, very stiffly. A listener sends in questions to be answered on the show, committing a murder to match each of his suggestions. Tough reporter Beatty and cute Anderson try to catch him. The mystery is less interesting than seeing the recreation showing how quiz shows were recorded....
