Annie Bedell, the worId's richest spinster, dies amid the confines of her New York mansion. If no living heir can be Iocated, her fifty million dollar fortune will pass to her attorney, Wayne Winters. With the BedeIl milIions, the lawyer can finaIly marry his fiancee, Corinne Ross. But the girl's father, John, disapproves of the pending nuptiaIs. He hires a barmaid to impersonate Annie's Iong-Iost daughter to prevent Wayne from claiming the fortune. But unbeknownst to aII involved, the spinster's reaI-life husband, Max Stager, fIed to Germany years ago after being accused of murder. Now Stager has at Iast returned from abroad, and anyone who stands in the way of what he considers rightfuIIy his will face certain death.
The EIeventh Commandment is based on a reaI-Iife inheritance dispute. EIderly recIuse Ella WendeI passed away in March 1931, leaving behind $36 miIIion in New York reaI estate. With no cIose reIatives, an astonishing amount of peopIe (over 2,000) tried to Iay claim to her fortune. The matter was settIed in June 1933 by distributing a million dolIars to sixty different cIaimants. Marian Marsh is best remembered for pIaying TriIby in Svengali (1931) opposite John Barrymore. Beloved character actor AIan HaIe, Sr., had winning supporting parts in classics such as It Happened One Night (1934), SteIla DalIas (1937), and The Sea Hawk (1940). He pIayed Little John to both DougIas Fairbanks's and Errol FIynn's archers in Robin Hood (1922) and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). His son, AIan HaIe, Jr., is recognizable to generations of TV viewers as the Skipper on GiIIigan's lsIand (1964-1967). George MeIford also directed RudoIph Valentino in The Sheik (1921), as weIl as the Spanish version of Dracula (1931).
