The nephew of aging Juliet Mitchell (Elizabeth Patterson) is found dead in the house that the pair shared. Inspector Patten (George Brent) believes the deceased was murdered, and asks nurse Adams (Joan Blondell), who is taking care of Juliet, to poke around and see what she can dig up. When Adams meets the victim's fiancée, Paula (Ruth Hall), and learns about his life insurance policy, she thinks she's close to cracking the case -- until Julia turns up dead as well, and the plot thickens.

Audience Member A lot here depends on the (perky, plucky) personality of the (nurse/detective) heroine--more annoying than attractive to me. And on the (creepy) atmosphere of the home and its inhabitants--also annoying (more than frightening). A mystery not worth all the mystery (nor all the screaming). Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Standard B enlivened by the wonderful Joan Blondell Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
