Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Thirteen women who were schoolmates send to a swami for their horoscopes, unaware that half-Asian Ursula is using her hypnotic powers over the swam and them to lead them or their families to their deaths. It seems that she went to school with them but their bigotry forced her to leave, and now she is exacting her revenge. Will she be stopped in time to save Laura's son Bobby?

| Taglines | WHY DO PEOPLE SAY "s-s-sh!" when this book is mentioned? Are they afraid to admit that such things can be true? Some say it's hokum. Thousands swear it's gospel truth. Everybody says it's striking entertainment. (Print Ad-Daily Alaska Empire, ((Juneau, Alaska)) 28 January 1933) See more » |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | There were only 11 actresses in the movie, not 13. Scenes involving the remaining two, Phyllis Fraser and Betty Furness, ended up on the cutting room floor. Several other roles also were telescoped in the editing process when the film was shortened from its original 73 minutes to 59 minutes for theatrical release. See more » |
| Goofs | In the newspaper with the headline "Horoscope Murders Still Baffle Police", there are two other stories with the smaller headlines of "Air Hero Honored" and "Judge Carrol Hands Out Good Advice and Admonitions with Stiff Fines". It can be seen that the text of those stories is composed of random lines of text. See more » |

| Quotes |
Jo Turner:
I do envy you, Laura. To me, life is just an ashtray full of cigarette butts. Laura Stanhope: Why don't you marry again, Jo? Jo Turner: Oh, I would if I were sure of getting a kid like Bobby. Laura Stanhope: What about the present fiancé? Jo Turner: Oh, he's a lot of fun. But all he wants is a well-stocked cellar, a racehorse, bridge... anything but babies. Laura, why don't you marry again sometime? Laura Stanhope: No. I could never be dependent on anyone again. I love standing on my own feet. Jo Turner: I wonder if any woman can. Laura Stanhope: Why not? Jo Turner: I say, do you remember how you were always afraid the boys would go too far, and I was afraid that they wouldn't? See more » |
