Even though this murder mystery starts off silly, it ends up being quite a fast-paced movie with lots of action and entertaining sequences. A murder takes place in a department store, and until the murderer is discovered, everyone is locked in with a few policemen all night. There are two sisters, Florence Rice and Julie Haydon, one of whom is dating a jewelry thief, Leslie Fenton, as well as a kleptomaniac, Etienne Girardot, and both the old owner of the store and the new buyer, Paul Stanton and Robert Young. Will police chief Ted Healy be able to find out who's guilty and why?
How do you keep everyone entertained in one room of a department store? By opening up the rest of the department store, restoring a previously unused elevator, and having the lights go out! Robert Young is busy wooing Florence, but since Julie is implicated, he's got a bigger job on his hands than to score a date for Saturday night. Before long, everyone's gone from suspect to detective and have to work to prove their innocence at the expense of someone else's guilt. Check this one out if it appeals to you!
