Eccentric tycoon Jasper Whyte hosts a dinner at his mansion and announces that he will divide his money and give each guest a million dollars before the stroke of midnight. When his long-lost granddaughter suddenly arrives, Whyte changes his mind and proclaims that she will receive his entire fortune.

A second lady appears at the estate, claiming that she is actually Whyte's granddaughter, Doris Waverly, and the first woman is found murdered in her room! With each guest possessing a motive, the mystery of the killer's identity briskly unfolds through a stirring series of surprises.

Wallace (credited as "Wally") Ford has an engaging role as "The Great Luvalle," a boisterous vaudeville magician who adds a heightened levity to this suspenseful whodunit. A highly recommended member of the "dark old house" genre. Cast also includes: Mary Carlisle, Charley Grapewin, Arthur Hohl, Lucian Littlefield, Regis Toomey, Hedda Hopper, Clarence Wilson, Evalyn Knapp, Rafaela Ottiano, Fred Kelsey and Adrian Morris.
