Grandfather Lloyd Ingraham invites his family for dinner, but this is one greedy family. Twelve show up with a place set for a 13th guest that never arrives. At that party Ingraham tells all of them what a greedy, grasping group they are and announces that his fortune is going to his granddaughter who is 8 at the time on her 21st birthday. He gives a letter to his lawyer to be opened on her 21st birthday.
With the arrival of the granddaughter 13 years later played by Helen Parrish bodies of the guests start dropping. One of them hires private detective Dick Purcell to find out about the deaths and the mysterious as yet unopened letter.
This is a remake of an early Monogram feature that had a slightly better cast to it with the heiress played by Ginger Rogers. I'll be checking that one out soon as it is available for viewing.
Hopefully it is not characterized by the sloppiness of Mystery Of The 13th Guest. Bad editing, bad writing, and perfunctory performances. A typical Monogram feature.
