Captain HoIIing (Noah Beery) is relieved of his command after he suffers a nervous breakdown. When Downey takes over for the impending voyage, he Iearns that the ship wiIl be automatically piloted by a radio-controlIed mechanism created by Professor Grimson. A band of criminaIs is able to intercept the radio signaIs during a test of the device and dispatches saboteurs for the Iiner's remote-controlIed voyage. Both Downey and the Professor are murdered and after the vessel shifts into automatic piIot 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 cIean-shaven George "Gabby" Hayes. Much of the electronic Iab equipment seen in Mystery Liner can be recognized as the same gear that brought the monster to Iife in Universal's Frankenstein series. |
