The Lone Wolf comes to the aid of Joan Bradley, a young woman who gets herself embroiled in a case of murder and robbery.
Gentleman thief turned Private Detective Michael Lanyard is once again on the case, ably supported by Jamison.
A pretty good installment, a solid if unremarkable plot, but as a whodunnit, it worked quite well. This did actually remind me a little of The Lone Wolf Strikes, a case that also involves a jewellery theft.
It's quite well paced, it's full of twists and turns, and you are made to wait to learn exactly who the killer is.
Jean Muir is very good as Joan Bradley, but it's Eric Blore who steals the show as Jamison, he is absolutely hilarious throughout, his quick wit and one liners are a total joy, his delivery is flawless.
A pleasing mystery, one I enjoyed.
7/10.
