Barry Gifford (Paul Langton) is madly in love with wealthy heiress Jean Hampton (Frances Rafferty), and the feeling is mutual. But, when the young lovebirds take a trip to visit Jean's uncle, they find his dead body waiting for them. Barry becomes a suspect in the murder -- the police believe he is a fortune hunter. Convinced her lover is innocent, Jean consults blind detective Duncan Maclaine (Edward Arnold), who vows to discover the real murderer with the help of his loyal seeing-eye dog.

These films were originally produced long before the advent of High Definition TV, therefore they are best viewed on a small screen. HD TVs tend to stretch and skew the picture. Set your HD TV on 4:3 aspect ratio. (That was the old TV format). Please do not expect DVD or Commercial level DVDs from these films.
