Menjou plays a police commissioner out to solve the murder of a nightclub owner who was killed even though she was under heavy police protection. Menjou pins it on the woman posing as the owner's mother, who used a scorpion to commit the crime. Menjou pulls off his role fairly well, without
any romantic flings for a change, and he even gets to speak a little French. Pace is somewhat slack, with a lot of attention given to extraneous details that add nothing to the story.
