This is an Alpha Home Entertainment DVD. It looks worse than a VHS copy, if you remember or herd of VHS, with that Blair Witch steady hand. Everything is really scratchy. You will recognize most of the actors such as J. Edward Bromberg from "Charlie Chan on Broadway" (1937). The story at least the presentation had those holes that you can drive a truck through. It gets slapstick at all the weirdest times.
A newspaper owner, Henry Kruger, threatens to dispatch a rival newspaper owner over an article. The one mistake making this threat was right in front of his chauffeur/friend, Andy McDonald, and the other newspaper owner's assistant/patsy 'Slippery Joe' Clary.
And you guessed it a corpse turns up in Henry's car trunk. Then it is not there. Then it is here and there and not here and there. Now each person sees it and is kind enough not to tell everyone. We know he did it, but no one listens to us.
Mack Hogan (Frank Jenks) as the cabin caretaker is the comic relief as if we needed relief.
The story sorts of works around Egbert (Charles Coleman), a snickering butler that seems to know something but never tells.
Anyway, the film is worth a quick look. If you miss this one you will not be missing much.
If you love bodies being moved, then two better movies are: Arsenic and Old Lace (1944).
And The Trouble with Harry (1955).
