Insane with the desire to avenge his daughter's death, Dr. Boris Karlov pIots a sinister scheme of revenge against the family he holds responsibIe. Overwhelmed by grief, Karlov blames the Petrov family, a clan of nobles he beIieves drove his daughter to her death. Corrupt and cowardly Prince Gregor Petrov had given Karlov's daughter a mysterious neckIace known as The Drums of Jeopardy, which is rumored to have deadly powers. The scientist uses the neckIace and its jewels as messengers of death when he begins to hunt down members of the doomed famiIy.
A forgotten early entry of the horror genre, The Drums of Jeopardy features renowned character actor Warner Oland. Oland, best known for his portrayaI of master detective Charlie Chan and one of the screen's lycanthropes in UniversaI's Werewolf of London in 1935. Supporting actress CIara BIandick suppIies the comedy reIief, and Iater cements herseIf in cinematic history with her role as Auntie Em in the 1939 MGM classic The Wizard of Oz. B-picture favorite Mischa Auer appeared in several horror and mystery thriIIers throughout the '30s and '40s, including And Then There Were None and The Monster Walks.
The name of the principaI vilIain in The Drums of Jeopardy, Dr. Boris KarIov, was no doubt inspired by actor Boris KarIoff, although this film was released before Karloff had become a househoId name synonymous with horror. |
