Robert F. Hill directs this poor man's Thin Man flick. A humorous little mystery that leaves a little more to be desired. Jimmy Flavin(Wallace Ford),a small-time detective, and his fiancé Marjorie(Barbara Pepper)arrive at a hostelry searching for a Justice of the Peace. The inn run by wheelchair-bound John Elliot is home to a jewelry ring and also the site of homicides. Visitors are found one by one with crushed throats and bite marks. Flavin decides to investigate the murders himself while waiting to recite nuptials. Well placed humor dots the criminal content. The cast of players include: Joan Woodbury, Arthur Loft, Clara Kimball Young and Jack Mulhall.
