    Where to Watch

Whodunit about the efforts of a DA (Neil Hamilton) and a mystery writer (Evelyn Venable) to solve the murder of a boxer. Nick: Jimmy Wallington. Althea: Barbara Pepper. Watchman: Lucien Littlefield. Edna: Lynne Roberts. Ace: Pat Flaherty. Directed by David Howard.

Despite a weak plot, this mystery is sustained by its good acting. A fighter is mysteriously killed before his big match with the champ. Hamilton is the DA assigned to investigate the case. Wallington is a sports announcer, guilty of the murder. His performance is fine as are the supporting roles of Pepper and Roberts. The direction is slow to start but things finally get going strongly.
