Reginald Denny is quite charismatic here as "Stone", a playwright who is cajoled into getting to the bottom of the double-murder of two of his theatrical producer friends. His problem here is that he is just as much of a suspect for the police as any of the other candidates so would rather just keep his head down. Unfortunately for him, "Linda Sands" (Inez Courtney) is determined he should be the one who solves the mystery (she's a wee bit keen on him, you see). There are a few red herrings dotted about, but joining them together and getting to the criminal isn't very difficult; this is really just a jolly crime thriller with plenty of personality on screen that easily and enjoyably - if not remotely taxingly - passes an hour or so.
