An enjoyable crime drama, even if the identity of the murderer is a bit obvious. DA Sutherland (William Gould) is about to announce his next target for investigation when he keels over, later it is discovered that he died due to a poison dart. Radio announcer Swifty Taylor (Weldon Heyburn) begins an investigation into who bumped off the DA, with the help of his friend Jimmy (Milburn Stone). The police are also investigating but of course Lt. O'Hara (Robert Homans) takes a back seat to Swifty!
When Jimmy is also killed, on his wedding day, Swifty knows that he is also in deadly danger. His secretary (and girl) Julie (Inez Courtney) is also acutely aware that Swifty may soon share Jimmy's fate. But who is behind the murders? The DA listed a whole host of potential suspects, Swifty brings them all to his radio studio to make the grand reveal...
A tight and fast moving drama. The film keeps you guessing as most of the investigation carried out by Jimmy and Swifty is purposely kept vague, however watchers of these kinds of murder mysteries will soon get a good feeling as to who the murderer probably is! Hardly very original, but a very acceptable little film.
