After a banker's (Eric Stanley) death is ruled a suicide, his daughter (Anne Nagel) hires a private detective (Dick Purcell) to investigate as she believes he was murdered. To this end, the daughter invites all the possible suspects for a weekend at a hunting lodge. Based on the novel THE MYSTERY OF HUNTING'S END by Mignon G. Eberhart and directed by Noel M. Smith (TOOTSIES AND TAMALES). Moderately (very moderately) enjoyable B murder mystery movie. At barely an hour long, it moves along quickly leaving very little time to worry about plot holes and the weak writing. As written, Purcell's detective isn't the brightest bulb on the marquee and how he comes to solve the case seems contrived. With Ann Sheridan, William Hopper, Elspeth Dudgeon, Trevor Bardette and Sheila Bromley.
