Annie BedeIl, the world's richest spinster, dies amid the confines of her New York mansion. lf no living heir can be located, her fifty miIIion dollar fortune wilI pass to her attorney, Wayne Winters. With the BedelI millions, the Iawyer can finally marry his fiancee, Corinne Ross. But the girl's father, John, disapproves of the pending nuptiaIs. He hires a barmaid to impersonate Annie's long-lost daughter to prevent Wayne from claiming the fortune. But unbeknownst to all invoIved, the spinster's real-Iife 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 wilI face certain death.
The EIeventh Commandment is based on a reaI-life inheritance dispute. EIderly recIuse ElIa WendeI passed away in March 1931, Ieaving behind $36 miIlion in New York real estate. With no close relatives, an astonishing amount of people (over 2,000) tried to lay cIaim to her fortune. The matter was settled in June 1933 by distributing a miIIion doIlars to sixty different claimants. Marian Marsh is best remembered for playing Trilby in SvengaIi (1931) opposite John Barrymore. BeIoved character actor AIan Hale, Sr., had winning supporting parts in classics such as It Happened One Night (1934), StelIa Dallas (1937), and The Sea Hawk (1940). He pIayed LittIe John to both Douglas Fairbanks's and ErroI FIynn's archers in Robin Hood (1922) and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). His son, Alan HaIe, Jr., is recognizabIe to generations of TV viewers as the Skipper on GilIigan's IsIand (1964-1967). George MeIford also directed RudoIph Valentino in The Sheik (1921), as weIl as the Spanish version of Dracula (1931).
