Things have been going boom in England, so Scotland Yard calls in their ace agent, Karen Morley, to investigate. She crosses paths with reporter Robert Baldwin, who's in London to cover the coronation, but taking a couple of days off to look into the mysterious disappearance of Agnes Anderson's husband. This involves him sneaking into a party, listening to Milly Monti sing, then going off for a rendezvous in a waxworks. When a corpse turns up, the police try to arrest him, but he escapes by doing a convincing imitation of a dummy. Miss Morley and Baldwin join forces, and soon they chance upon Eduardo Ciannelli and his death ray.
Robert Vignola's last movie is a dumb programmer with two miscast leads. We are supposed to believe that Miss Morley, with her corn-fed Iowa accent, is veddy English, and as for Baldwin, he falls into that category of actor who looks good in evening wear with his hands in his pockets, but speaks woodenly..... or perhaps I should write "waxenly". As one commenter on the site I watched it on noted, "I once lived next door to Bud Flanagan. I didn't know that he was in any films." With Katharine Alexander, Jon Hall, Leonid Kinsky, Dennis O'Keefe, and Gino Corrado, but not Bud Flanagan.
