Narrative Synopsis
At a lavish house party, bank president Robert Andrews stages his own “murder” to distract a visiting bank examiner from uncovering a shortage, setting off a whodunit where nearly everyone has a motive. The investigation spirals until Andrews is found alive and admits the frame-up—after the deficit is repaid. A silent black-and-white Universal mystery-melodrama-comedy directed by Herbert Blaché; long thought lost, a print resurfaced in 2017.
