Edited down to each of its two segments, each of them re-titled, this was sold to television in the early 1950s as two parts of a syndicated half-hour mystery show.
Virtually identical plot used on 6/26/1947 "Johnny Madero, Pier 23" radio show episode entitled "Fatal Auction." Johnny Madero was a wise-cracking, sardonic PI played by Jack Webb.
Final film of Paula Drew.
