Dull Murder Mystery
Rene Ray is Jennifer Hale, a chorus girl who is wanted for questioning by the police in the murder of a theatrical producer. She flees to Manchester and under an assumed name, becomes a taxi dancer, where architect Ballard Berkley meets her and falls in love with her.
It's a murder mystery, but about three quarters of it is taken up with Miss Ray's perfectly harmless actions in Manchester. Her flight and hiding is intended to make the movie-watcher suspect her; her ordinary demeanor makes it unlikely. John Longden as the suave Scotland Yard inspector shows up on the screen occasionally to explain what has actually happened.
It's a bare-bones quota quickie, without much detail to make it more interesting. Miss Ray is pretty, Mr. Berkley is handsome and smitten, and the entire solution of the case takes only a few minutes.
