Comment
A lawyer (Lionel Barrymore) who believes that in some cases murder is justifiable, discovers his playboy friend (Alan Mowbray) intends to marry his daughter(Madge Evans), so he threatens to kill the man if he does. After the engagement is announced at a dinner party he kills the man later that night and makes it look like suicide. However the man's real girlfriend (Kay Francis) believes it is murder. Lionel Barrymore gives a good performance as the lawyer who becomes a murderer particularly when trying to make it look like Kay Francis is the murderer. There are also good performances from kay Francis and Madge Evans as the two women involved with Alan Mowbray.
