London reports German envoy Fritz Hesse sought talks with Britain, a move Britain ignored and relayed to the U.S. and Soviet Union.

The plot centers on a hotel setting with a vanished magician turned murder victim, a bride and groom, and a skeptical detective. Landis earns mixed praise for the bride role while O'Brien shows less ease with stunts. The piece notes the ending is satisfactory but hurried, with general amusement and limited cinematic prize.
