Schach dem Mörder (1956)
Der Rechtsanwalt Frank Hobart (Sidney Blackmer) ist ermordet worden. Da er zu Lebzeiten rege Kontakte zur Unterwelt pflegte, kommen nicht wenige potenzielle Täter in Frage. Unter der Schar der Verdächtigen fällt die scheue Nachtklubsängerin Ilona (Vera Ralston) ins Visier der Ermittler. Lieutenant Roy Hargis (David Brian) ist hingegen von ihrer Unschuld überzeugt...
