Hold on to your hats - this doesn't (sorry) hang around. A woman's body is found in a dodgy hotel. The police think it suicide, but before anyone can establish who did what to whom - and, indeed, whom she actually was - the body goes AWOL. Investigating PI "Dick Crane" (Preston Foster) gets bumped over the head for his troubles as he attempts to convince the police his is not connected with the disappearing corpse, whilst he and his sidekick "Doc" (Frank Jenks) try to find the real culprits and repatriate the body to the morgue... This production is all very basic, the writing likewise, but Otis Garnett keeps the thing moving along hell-for-leather and what it lacks in substance it makes up for in enthusiasm. Maybe a bit too wordy, but still kills an hour ok.
