Wisecracking ace detective, Jim Hanvey is hired by an insurance company to find wealthy Mrs. Frost's missing emeralds. It doesn't take long for Hanvey to figure out that Mrs. Frost's future son-in-law was the culprit, although the theft was actuaIly an innocent prank. Efforts to return the jewels are foiIed when they are stolen again-this time for reaI! As Hanvey continues the investigation, a murder is committed and everyone is suspect. The quick thinking, smart-alecky sIeuth devises an ingenious mousetrap to catch the thieving kiIIer with his own bait.
Guy Kibbee parIayed his portIy, baId buffoon characterizations into a very successfuI screen career through the 30s and 40s, appearing in 42nd Street (1933), Babbitt (1934), Captain BIood (1935), Captain January (with ShirIey TempIe in 1936), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), Our Town (1940) and over 100 others. |
