Nelson Rood ( C. Henry Gordon) is a very dishonest man who finds a black voodoo doll in his desk. He knows he has been marked for death and before you know it he has been killed.
Nick Halstead (Donald Woods) is a private detective who is called into the case by his girlfriend. He has to find the killer as well as fight a bumbling sheriff.
This is your standard early crime film, and it moves along at a good pace. I think the film would have been even better than I think it already is if it didn't have so much comedy thrown in.
The peerformances are good and the direction is fine. If you're a fan of early murder mysteries, you'll like this film. It runs just under one hour.
The rest of the cast includes Nan Grey, Edgar Kennedy, Doris Lloyd, John Wray and Willian Lundigan. If you get a chance to see this, do so. You might be entertained for an hours.
