Lionel Atwill stars in this mystery/horror film as Jerome Breen, a deaf mute who is accused of a murder. What makes this so unique is that a witness swears that Breen asked him for a light and the time right after the murder.
The police have a problem as they must try and determine if Breen is really the killer or what.
It comes a no surprise that he has a twin brother he keeps in hiding so he can do his evil killings. This is a well made film that the studio, Monogram of course, remade in 1942 as "Phantom Killer".
Atwill is at the top of his game in this film as are Sheila Terry and Ted Newton. In it's brief 64 minute running time this film packs in more fun than many modern film three times as long.
This is not a hard film to find, so you might want to give it a try.
