This is a typical 30's murder mystery which involves a very valuable piece of jewelry called "The Moonstone".
It's brought from India by Franklin Blake (David Manners) for his fiance Anne Verinder (Phyllis Barry). During a storm the lights go out and the item is stolen.
A Scotland Yard inspector named Cuff (Charles Irwin) is called into the case and must find the thief.
It has been many years since I saw this and what I find odd is that the running time is listed for 62 minutes, but the only version I have ever seen, and the only one that has been released runs 46 minutes.
I'm not too sure what is right and what is wrong, but if 18 minutes are actually missing from this film, then I'm shocked that the film makes any sense at all.
Check it out anyway.
