Hostess Wanda McKay's corpse is found, and police Lt. Conrad Nagel is assigned the case, but Miss McKay's small-town sister, Audrey Long, grows impatient with nothing happening. She decides to go undercover herself at the suspects' talent agency, where Kane Richmond and John Gallaudet charge ridiculous fees to girls for dramatic training, feed them to their operations as b-girls at their club, and eventually into the white slavery trade.
William Nigh's last movie is filled with competent talent in a 1930s B movie plot. If you wish to play spot the performer, you'll have a good time seeing Ralph Byrd, Pamela Blake, Nana Bryant, Evelyn Brent, and Franklyn Farnum, and the dialogue is pretty good, but the story is tired.
Nigh had entered movies in 1913 as an actor at Keystone. By the next year he was directing, and by the 1920s he was directing for MGM. Like many directors, his career went downhill fast during the sound era, and by 1931 he was on Poverty Row. He was in charge of 121 movies in total. He died in 1955, shortly after his 74th birthday.
