The plot revolves around the murder of a bootlegger and the attempts of the cast to uncover the true murderer. The film, inspired by the Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood play The Bat (1920), led to the production of similar "murder mystery" films such as The Bat (1926) based on the play, The Cat and the Canary (1927) and even the fabled London After Midnight (1927) with Lon Chaney. This film received a brief release on VHS from the Kino company in the 1990s but has yet to be issued on DVD. |
