This Philo Vance film was shot over at PRC studios on Poverty Row and has Alan
Curtis as the urbane detective who gets a call from his old friend mucho married
Damian O'Flynn about to take the marriage plunge again. His current fiance is
murdered. By the time Curtis arrives on the scene O'Flynn has also been murdered.
This guy wrote a will where he was asking for it. He makes generous bequests to all the ex-wives and even to Iris Adrian, a fan dancer he almost married. And if they die the survivors get a bigger share.
So the bodies start dropping and it's poison cleverly administered. In fact finding the how inevitably leads to who.
This might have rated better at a major studio which had previously doing the Philo Vance films. And the murderer is very obvious.
