An episode of the Colonel March show with a self-explanatory title. THE SECOND MONA LISA explores the situation that arises when a second copy of the Mona Lisa is found, raising questions as to the authenticity of the first. March somehow shows up and is involved with the ensuing debate, but things get complex - and murderous - when two rival bidders, an American and a Sheikh, show up and both are intent on getting their hands on the true masterpiece.
This is a lively and tightly-plotted little story that benefits from a very fast pace and a plot with which it's difficult to keep up. Karloff is the calm and soothing presence to hold everything together while Eric Pohlmann once again appears and is almost unrecognisable playing the Arab character. THE SECOND MONA LISA is a lot of fun and has plenty of laughs to go along with the mystery.
