Reginald Denny is Greg Stone, a playwright locked into a long-term contract with two producers (Bryan Washburn and Claude King). When they are found dead Greg finds himself pushed into investigating the case himself by his girlfriend Linda (Inez Courtney) and poundshop hoodlum Smiley (Jack La Rue). There are plenty of suspects including the wife of one of the victims (Evelyn Brent).
It sounds a bit dubious but is infact a highly enjoyable film with some sharp dialogue especially from La Rue (especially when he embarrassingly reveals his alibi was watching a Shirley Temple movie!)
