    Run-of-the-Mill Myatery

    The third in the Scotland Yard series of mysteries. At this time the series was still to take fire and included several little-known names among its cast. This episode is a little stagey, with too many studio interiors revealing how cheaply they were produced. However, the plot moves inexorably towards its resolution, aided and abetted by Edgar Lustgarten.
