After a double murder is committed in the courtyard of an exclusive shopping center (seven shop entrances face the courtyard, hence the title) suspicion falls on Jimmy McMillan (Chandler) a young architect. Desperate to clear himself, Jimmy launches his own investigation to find the real
killer. Competent, if somewhat talky, murder mystery helmed by veteran director Elmer Clifton whose career began in 1917 as an actor and eventually led to his directing the likes of Dorothy Gish and Clara Bow. Although his silent work is more interesting than his poverty row talkies, this film is
one of his better efforts.
