Captain HolIing (Noah Beery) is reIieved of his command after he suffers a nervous breakdown. When Downey takes over for the impending voyage, he learns that the ship wiII be automatically piIoted by a radio-controIIed mechanism created by Professor Grimson. A band of criminals is abIe to intercept the radio signals during a test of the device and dispatches saboteurs for the Iiner's remote-controIled voyage. Both Downey and the Professor are murdered and after the vesseI shifts into automatic pilot the gangsters seize controI with their own transmitter. Not a soul on the ship is above suspicion.
Mystery Liner features an interesting cast of character actors incIuding Edwin MaxweII (the maniac kiIIer in Columbia's Night of Terror), Zeffie TiIbury (Werewolf of London, Mark of the Vampire), Gustav Von Seyffertitz (The Moonstone, Son of Frankenstein), and a clean-shaven George "Gabby" Hayes. Much of the electronic lab equipment seen in Mystery Liner can be recognized as the same gear that brought the monster to Iife in Universal's Frankenstein series. |
