George Sanders goes to meet his brother on the boat, but he is informed that brother is now a corpse. He follows a blonde to a fashion show, and after meeting up with his brother, played by his brother, Tom Conway, gets conked on the head while Conway continues the investigation.
Confusing enough for you? It's a pretty good entry in the series, with at least four murders -- I lost track after a while -- the usual bevy of pretty RKO starlets and the very pleasant conceit that if Sanders has had enough of this profitable B series for RKO, we'll continue it with someone who can do a good impersonation of him, like brother Conway. Eventually it leads into spy stuff, which was all the rage in 1942, but more than good enough with Jane Randolph, Keye Luke and Andre Gwili in her last screen appearance.
