    When actor and lothario Myles Brent is killed whilst filming, there are no shortage of suspects. His leading lady "Marcia" (Adrienne Ames) is arrested and her suitor sets out to find the real culprit. On the face of it, it's just a routine whodunnit and has little to distinguish it; but David Manners ("Drew") and Bela Lugosi ("Steiner") complement each other well; the writing is quite light-hearted, mostly well-paced and there is just about enough from the supporting cast to keep it interesting - though maybe 70 minutes was 10/12 minutes too long....
