YOUR RATING

When a music-hall dancer is murdered, a moss rose marks the page of a Bible next to her body. Luckily, another chorus girl saw a gentleman leaving the lodgings. She approaches him directly, saying she'll go to the police if he doesn't meet her demands, but he brushes her off contemptuously. When he learns she's dead serious, he tries to buy her off with a thick wad of pound notes. But it's not money she's after; all she wants is two weeks at his country estate, living the life of a lady.

When her best friend is murdered, "Rose" (Peggy Cummins) reckons she knows who did the killing. Her approach to "Michael" (Victor Mature) gets rebuffed and indeed the police investigation led by "Insp. Clinner" (Vincent Price) seems to further exonerate him, but she persists and finally touches enough nerves to get an invitation to the man's stately home where his mother "Lady Margaret" (Ethel Bar...
