Larry (Damien O'Flynn) is shocked when his fiancé radio singer Virginia (Ramsay Ames) is shot dead, though he doesn't have long to mourn as he shot himself a few minutes later! Larry has had time to call his friend Philo Vance (William Wright) who begins to investigate on behalf of Larry's grandmother Stella (Clara Blandick).
Vance is assisted by Karnoff (Leon Belasco) who was Virginia's manager. Larry had a number of ex-s all of whom have a motive as they would be beneficiaries in his will. Vance and Karnoff continue with their complicated investigation, however maybe the actual culprit is a lot closer to home...
This is an excellent Philo Vance film, a good crime plot with plenty of red herrings and twists and turns. Although the film does not have much you will not have seen before it is all very competently done.
