Gentleman sleuth Philo Vance (Paul Lukas) receives a letter from "a friend" warning of danger to wealthy Lynn Llewwllen later that night. Nobody takes it that seriously. Doris Reed (Rosalind Russell) is Mrs. Llewwllen's assistant.
Paul Lukas is no William Powell. Rosalind Russell is somewhat close to Myrna Loy. The pairing in this movie is not that great and there isn't enough of it anyways. This tries some comedy early but that doesn't last with the murder mystery. This is the ninth in the Philo Vance film series. It's not that compelling.
