Scared Stiff
Producers William Pine and William Thomas have come up with another of their comic little pieces about murder, which is essentially a tragic business. Jack Haley, Ann Savage, Barton MacLane and Veda Ann Borg have the leading roles in a story by Geoffrey Homes and Maxwell Shane. It's about a chess expert, an antique dealer, a lady detective and a boy prodigy, and the action takes place in a winery owned by a couple of elderly eccentrics. The latter have come into possession of a set of rare old chessmen, and, for one reason or another, all the others in the cast are out to get hold of the chessmen. The most serious competition comes, however, from a pair of professional crooks, and there are some pretty dirty doings in the winery before order is restored, and the boy gets the girl. Frank McDonald's direction lays emphasis on action.
