1930 comedy mystery about the crooked circle a band of hooded crook who set about plot the murder of some one who swear to oppose them . enjoyable but really unremarkable little film and the movie work simply because the cast head by zazu pitt and james gleason ( both of whom would later appear together in a couple of hildegarde withers film after edna mae oliver drop out of that series ) and support by a great cast of actor and actresses you know but may not know the name of ( i do not hence the lack naming ) . a breezy hour long romp and the movie doesn not make a great deal of sense with mistaken identity and secret passage and ghostly music and people not be who they seem . it the perfect thing for a dark and stormy night or a late night view when one be nostalgic for the late late show .
