A private detective (Patric Knowles) is hospitalized at a private hospital after a nervous breakdown. Instead of rest however, a murder occurs in the hospital and he's back in action. Based on the novel by Mignon B. Eberhart and directed by Bobby Connolly and Crane Wilbur. A low budget B programmer that should have been fun but its achingly unfunny humor turns its brief running time into a laborious dud. The movie has the usual trimmings, murders on a dark and stormy night, a plethora of possible murderers and all the suspects gathered in one room at the finale when the detective announces the killer. The murder mystery aspect of the movie is just okay but is there anything worse than a lame attempt at screwball comedy by people who don't know how to do it? With Ann Sheridan, John Ridgely, Charles Trowbridge and Jean Benedict.
