Hier irrte Scotland Yard (1946)

KrimiDramaMysteryThriller

London, 1890: Der pflichtbewusste und angesehene Scotland-Yard-Superintendent George Edward Grodman hat gerade einen lang gesuchten Mörder in die Todeszelle gebracht, als sich dessen Unschuld herausstellt. Verbittert muss Grodman seinen Stuhl für den ehrgeizigen Superintendent Buckley räumen. Der tragische Irrtum nach 30 Jahren im Dienst lastet auf Grodman wie ein Fluch. Sein Freund, der Maler Victor Emmeric, will ihn mit einer Party ablenken, auf der sich auch die verfeindeten Abgeordneten Arthur Kendall und Clive Russell treffen. Sie streiten sich heftig. Am nächsten Morgen wird Kendall ermordet aufgefunden. Buckley verdächtigt zunächst das Revuegirl Lottie, die Kendall am Vorabend im Streit um ein teures Geschenk bedrohte. Grodman bringt Buckley dazu, Kendalls Sarg in einer makabren nächtlichen Aktion zu öffnen, wobei Lotties Schmuck gefunden wird. Lottie beschuldigt indes Russell, weil er Kendall mit einem Seitensprung erpresst habe.
