Robert Urquhart is a rising young writer. He has an understanding with Noelle Middleton. He discovers his recent lover, Elizabeth Kentish, is expecting, and she expects him to do something about it. They quarrel, and she dies accidentally. Miss Middleton helps him cover up, but it preys on both their minds, and on the mind of blackmailing fellow writer Guy Rolfe. When an archeological dig turns up Miss Kentish's body, Doctor Guy Rolfe falls under suspicion.
It;'s a watchable little murder mystery, nicely paced by first-time director Wilfred Eades, as everyone acts terribly civilized, even as Urquhart becomes more and more unhinged. Does he feel guilty, or is it simply the threat to his comfortable life, shuttling between London and the small cozy town they all grew up in?

Vera Ralston shows up from France on a forged passport and kills attorney John Carroll. After she's found guilty, the judge sentences her to death. She collapses and it turns out she's expecting. Carroll's widow, Ruth Hussey, decides to defend her by asking for another trial.
That's not how any of this works, of course, but the sensational aspects of this movie, which should have gotten it banned by the Hays Office, are only the least of its troubles. It's a soap opera, with Miss Hussey calling everyone and his brother to the witness box (with everyone expressing great surprise), and Assistant District Attorney Gene Lockhart objecting to everything, including Miss Ralston's Czech-accented testimony.
John Auer directs a cast that includes John Howard, Leon Belasco, Adele Mara, and John Litel competently, but very little of it makes sense.

With the Soviet launch of Sputnik, America went into high gear to close the education gap. This short extols the "urban university" and its promise for the future, with a closer look at the University of Buffalo. Alas, this institution has changed its name to "The University at Buffalo". Apparently I'm not the first to think of asking how educated our bison need to be.
Is this another of the industrial films created by a particular institution (the University of/at Buffalo) and then offered to RKO for release to theaters? Could be.
