A college student is found hanged, but when evidence points to murder, the father of his roommate, an amateur criminologist, takes charge of the investigation.
Despite its low-budget trappings, this is a well-done mystery with a clever script and some interesting twists and turns that keep you guessing. It would have been enhanced by a music score and better production values, but still entertains. Van Sloan is the biggest name in the cast, known for his supporting roles in Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy, but the entire ensemble of actors comes off well.
