In A SCREAM IN THE NIGHT, police detective, Jack Wilson (Lon Chaney Jr.) is on the trail of ruthless criminal mastermind, Johnny Fly (Manuel Lopez), who is out to steal a precious ruby.
Meanwhile, romance blooms when Jack is reunited with his old flame, Edith Bentley (Sheila Terry). Jack's investigation leads him into a dark underworld, where he goes undercover as a notorious thug named Butch Curtain.
As crime dramas go, this one's enjoyable enough. Chaney does quite well in his dual role, getting to play both a good guy and a bad guy.
