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