Someone is bumping off stock brokers, there is a suspect called Mr Breen (Lionel Atwill) whom an eye-witness claims was present at the scene and spoke to him... but doctors have proven that Mr Breen is deaf and dumb.
Jack Burton (Theodore Newton) is a reporter convinced Breen is somehow guilty but his fellow reporter and girlfriend Jerry Crane (Sheila Terry) is of the opposite opinion. Has she put herself at risk going to interview Mr Breen?
Yet another low-budget crime drama but this one has some interesting twists (though you will probably guess what is going on before the big reveal) and a great performance by Atwill. Some of the rest has been seen before though including the bumbling cops and wiseguy reporter who acts like he owns the place. Breen uses sign language though it doesn't seem very authentic and most of the time its off camera.
