one frightened night (1935)

"Whilst you are in such a good mood, can you spare me a dime."
Millionaire Jasper Whyte (Charley Grapewin) tells his staff and friends that he intends to give his fortune to them as he has failed to find his long lost granddaughter. So they are none to happy when she arrives to claim the fortune. Then another girl turns up, also claiming to be his granddaughter. As the storm gathers, the murders start...
Standard plot, kept fresh by Cabanne, as he provides us with a witty little thriller.
