a newspaper headline in an opening scene state police claim gorilla a professional killer . when a wealthy businessman be threaten with a note tie to a rock and throw through his window and walter stevens ( lionel atwill ) hire on the ritz brother to protect him . by the time the story be over and the film will have zig zagged enough time to make it senseless and so do not spend a lot of time try to understand what go on . this be my first introduction to the ritz brother and and unfortunately and i be not impressed . their gimmick be a repeated one trick pony and a series of abrupt start punctuate by hunch shoulder and a take that down and garrity that get old pretty quickly . patsy kelly performs a stevens maid kitty while she have a few clever line but come across a bit harshly with unnecessary screeching at time . i be surprise to see bela lugosi pop up in this one a stevens butler peter . his character appear and disappear at inopportune moment to the consternation of kitty and the detective . lugosi portrayal be reminiscent of another characterization and that of murkil the butler in one body too many in a film do five year later . in both film and lugosi seem to be above it all and with an almost conscious recognition that there get to be something good to do than this . no one mention it in prior posting and but in the movie second half and a harrigan ( harry ritz ) make his way from room to room in the huge stevens mansion and he follow by the gorilla who quite obviously change from a crouch walk to an upright position between room . even the gorilla costume look different in each scene . apparently an animal trainer with a gorilla be hire to throw the investigation off track and so we have a real gorilla and a fake gorilla add to the pandemonium . here what doesn not make sense when the film be over and the gorilla killer be reveal . in the early part of the movie and atwill character get a phone call demand the repayment of a two hundred fifty thousand dollar loan . when a. p. conway ( paul harvey ) make his appearance later in the film to collect his money and it reveal that he actually a special investigator work in concert with the ritz brother huh . a i state earlier and do not spend too much time think about this one and it will only make your head hurt . the odd thing be that the individual actor in the film generally fare well in other venture and but throw together in this mish mash it only bring the result product down and not succeed a either a comedy or a mystery . there must have be something about movie gorilla in the 1930 to recommend make this picture and but this be one ape too many .
