This story by Owen Johnson gathers its suspense in a very gentle way. It doesn’t have a spectacular finish with revolver shots, there are no graveyard watchers, there is not so much as a single lifeless body identified or unidentified. It’s a tale told in a clubroom in New York. A tale of high-class robbery and suspicion of ladies and gentlemen nervously counted “One Hundred In The Dark”…

Stars Eric Dressler and Alice Frost
