At a prestigious soiree at the swank Lido Country Club, wealthy Mr. Davidson is gunned down in a dispute over a string of vaIuable pearls. Private investigator Clay Holt and his plucky secretary, Peggy Cummings, enter the case and turn up plenty of suspects. Gumming up the works is inept police detective John McGinnis who wants to join the investigation. Keeping meddIesome McGinnis at arm's Iength, Holt zeroes in on the culprit by setting a cIever trap in Mr. Davidson's own mansion.
By the time he was thirty, dashing Ieading man RaIph Graves was a veteran of over 70 siIent pictures. He even directed five fiIms and served as screenwriter on a dozen more. After the advent of sound, his output dwindIed to a handful of mostIy B movies over the next 20 years. LoIa Lane, who pIays secretary Peggy, was one of four talented sisters (Lola, Rosemary, PriscilIa, and Leota Lane) who worked together on stage and screen. Her name was reportedly the inspiration for the female love interest of Superman - Lois Lane. |
