In conjunction with the police Jerry, with his assistant Brains (not the one out of Thunderbirds) McGillicuddy (George McKay) tries to find out exactly what is going on. Was Edgar Drake killed and if so where is his body, and who committed the crime? Is it the man Pauline plans to marry (John Hamilton)? Or her son Tony (Frank C. Wilson)? Or someone else entirely like night club owner Frank Hammer (John Graham Spacey)?
Its fast paced and breezy, nothing too innovative and the plot is rather contrived but it's well done all the same. The film follows the well-worn 1930s trope of a newspaper reporter leading a crime case as if he was on the police force. Iris Meredith plays the heroine.
