Dull, insipid mystery wherein any half-awake moviegoer will be hit over the head with the solution in the first five minutes. Drew stars as the innocent secretary of rich businessman Asther, who is believed to have been murdered. After a circumstantial case is trumped up against her,
worried investor Preston enters and proves the girl innocent. Based on a stage play by philosopher-novelist Rand that recruited audience members to sit in the jury box in the final act. Not even that gimmick could save this film.
