Trivia
The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.

Goofs
29:21 into the film, when the editor of the magazine that is buying the story of the heiress who has never been photographed is murdered in his office, Robert Lowery is seen checking the dead man's pulse. All of a sudden a hand pops up from behind the desk with a piece of paper and hands it to Lowery.

this who-dunnit limps along

Picture and sound quality are pretty bad, but i'm guessing this one won't be restored any time soon. According to imdb, the copyright expired years back, which explains the poor quality. A sixty eight minute B film from pine thomas. According to wikipedia dot org, their motto was "we don't want to make million dollar pictures. We just want to make a million dollars." after getting photos of an illegal gambling joint, pat (jane withers) barely escapes, and is determined to expose the place for her magazine. But the magazine is being sold, so the staff comes up with a plan to buy it... that might not be completely legal. They are also trying to get pics of an elusive rich girl, who is pursued by two suitors. And one of the suitors has two girlfriends. The playful, cartoonish music tells us this is all being done with humor. Except that now there's a dead guy in the magazine office. So they come up with a scheme to find out who dunnit. So much going on! The only two names I recognize here are lyle talbot (charlie johnson) and will wright (chief bullward). It's watchable, but nothing special. Probably too many subplots. And the music is so happy and light, considering they are trying to solve a moidah! Directed by lew landers.
