Mr. X auf Abwegen (1941)
Der angesehene Finanzberater Francis Warren fühlt sich in seinem seriösen Beruf nicht ganz ausgelastet. So führt er ein Doppelleben in Gestalt eines Krimi-Bestsellerautors, von dem nur sein Chauffeur etwas weiß - und der Polizeiinspektor Mason. Als Mason seinen Freund mit einer vernichtenden Radiorezension von dessen neuestem Buch provoziert, will Warren ihm beweisen, dass er von beiden der bessere Detektiv ist. Mason nimmt Warren mit zu einem tot aufgefundenen Juwelier...
