Death of a Champion Reviews

An encyclopedia salesman and telepathist, Overman, is forced into playing detective in the case of a murdered show dog. Overman's assistant, a young O'Connor, pulls his boss into sleuthing when his amateurish attempts to discover the killer get both of them into a variety of predicaments. The suspects range from a friend of the dog owner's daughter to the owner's nurse. But the dog's killer, as always, is the one no one would suspect. Standard mystery fare, picking up when O'Connor is on the screen and already stealing scenes from older actors, although the Chicago-born song-and-dance comedian was only 14 years old and had been in films only two years.
