New York schoolmarm Hildegarde Withers (ZaSu Pitts) solves backstage murders for her detective boyfriend (James Gleason).

Kate B

Actually, it was bad. Not so bad it was good, or so bad it was bad. Just bad. Without Zasu Pitts, it would have been so bad it was bad. But the occasional Zasu moment of comic relief brought a smidge of entertainment to this godawful script, and godawful acting, just enough to make it simply bad. (Darling Hubby insisted on the 3 star rating. He was feeling kind toward Zasu. Really, it's a 2-star bad.)

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
