Try The Doorbell
Wilfrid Lawson is a lawyer and reputedly the biggest fence in London. One day he gets a horseshoe of flowers and a threat that he will die the next day. It's signed by a dead master criminal called 'the Ringer' who used to be his partner. The police gather around, and so do the suspects. In fact, they may be the same person.
It's the third of four film versions of the Edgar Wallace story 'The Ringer', and under the direction of Walter Forde, it's a lot of fun to watch everyone run around in circles. Still, it has a fairly stagey quality to it. With Sonnie Hale, Louise Henry, Alexander Knox, Patrick Barr, John Longden, and Patricia Roc in her first credited screen appearance.
