Murder and blackmail at a beauty parlor. Frankie Darro, Joy Hodges. Jefferson: Mantan Moreland. Inez: Kay Sutton. Haggerty: George Houston. Craig: Guy Usher. Celeste: Veda Ann Borg. Mrs. Van Horn: Betty Compson. Mrs. Kelly: Lillian Elliott. Pierre: Ralph Sedan. Directed by Howard Bretherton.

A murder yarn set in a beauty parlor has the owners hiding microphones throughout the shop to record the incriminating chatter of the socialite customers. They proceed to use the recordings to blackmail the women. When a couple of murders and a suicide are mixed up with the blackmailing racket, it's up to Darro, the beauty shop page boy, and his bumbling assistant Moreland to get to the bottom of things--and save the day.
