...subsequent murders of all but one member of one of New York's wealthiest families. Joseph Calleia gets his oar in, but he is a friendly back-stabber this time. The solution to the mystery comes with the exposure in a most unconvincing manner of the least suspected person as the murderer. The program is worth taking in, however, because the feature picture is well acted and well photographed...
