Detective Ted Shayne (Warren William) is a happy-go-lucky
man about town and ladies man who also happens to be a crack detective, and
gets run out of town by a group of city fathers, so he returns to San Marino to
his former partner Ames (Porter Hall), bringing with him some high-paying
clients.
When lovely blonde Valerie Purvis (Bette Davis) hires Shayne to track
down Mme. Barabbas (Alison Skipworth) but doesn't tell him why, Shayne complies
and is naturally curious particularly because Purvis pays a lot of money for
the detecting job.
After reading this, I bought the DVD. It looks like a good film. Berets and Miss Betty Davis can't go wrong.
