Bruce is a standout in this otherwise mediocre offering. The mystery involves three knife-wielding murderers, stolen diamonds, and a hideout protected by a quicksand-and-crocodile-filled swamp. The film runs a bit longer than necessary, and the mystery is not very mysterious. However,
Bruce's performance as a low-key Sherlock Holmes type is great fun. He carries the film well despite the inherent weaknesses.
