(1933, Upgraded 11/8/25) Lionel Atwill, Sheila Terry, Theodore Newton, Paul Hurst, Robert Ellis, Louis Alberni, Paul Fix. This is a well done little Monogram mystery-chiller with Atwill in a dual role. A man seen at the scene of a murder is known to be mute. Yet, he is seen and heard talking while leaving the scene of the crime. Whats the ploy and who's the real killer? Atwill doesn't have much dialogue but his part is huge and he does a great job as a "deaf mute." Newton (who was on loan from Warners) is the slick, fast-talking reporter. Watch for some tense scenes in a drawing room with detective Paul Hurst just "fooling around" at the piano. Look for Gabby Hayes in an uncredited role as a detective.
