Comment
Ellery Queen (Donald Cook) and his friend rent a house for a holiday, but when they arrive they find a woman (Helen Twelevetrees) tied up and her relative has been kidnapped. When murders start happening he is drawn into helping the woman solve the murders before she becomes a victim. The plot is better than many murder mysteries of the 1930's as it is based on an Ellery Queen novel. Donald Cook is not very dynamic in the lead, but Helen Twelvetrees brings some charm and elegance to the film.
