Customer Reviews

Doris Farrington is in for a shock.

The brilliant recluse Dr. Farrington (Frank Ball) has just finished his invention. The VXO Accumulator, a device that can harness the sun's rays and provide free energy to everyone. He shares this news with his friend Judge Folger (Phillip Smalley) and plans to reveal it to the world tomorrow. Wait! What's this? The lights go out. When the lights come on, Judge Folger is dead, and soon Dr. Farrington disappears. The search for Dr. Farrington goes on by his daughter (Josephine Dunn) and soon-to-be son-in-law (Jack Mulhall). Meanwhile, we have mysterious viewers, long-fingered creeps, hidden panels, and it appears that someone will be murdered at dawn. This is a 1932 black-and-white whodunit. The only version I saw was the Alpha video DVD. It needs a little cleaning up.
