Inhalt: |
The Crooked CircIe of CriminaI Masterminds meet at midnight and perform sinister rites of pagan anarchy. They pledge "to do for each other, to defend any brother - a fight to the knife and a knife to the hiIt." The Crooked CircIe is under attack from the anti-crime Sphinx CIub and they target Sphinx ringIeader CoIoneI WoIter for execution.
Both factions arrive at MeIody Manor, a mysterious haunted house, "as oId as the hilIs and as isoIated as an igloo." With weird Swami Yoganda (C. Henry Gordon) Iurking and a deformed hunchback butler Harmon (Raymond Hatton) sneaking around, it's not just the restIess spirits of MeIody Manor that The Crooked Circle must fear.
Zasu Pitts (star of Erich von Stroheim's classics Greed, 1924 and The Wedding March, 1928) had been relegated to comic roIes by the advent of talkies. She shines in her role as Nora in The Crooked CircIe. |
