SYNOPSIS:
The Westchester Globe cries ‘murder’. The perpetrator is thought to be either a berserk gorilla, origin unknown, or someone disguised up as one. When rich financier Walter Stevens (Lionel Atwill) receives an unequivocal threat from the murderer, all hell breaks loose. His highly strung maid Kitty (Patsy Kelly) serves immediate notice, but too late... the game is afoot. Enter Stevens’ beautiful niece Norma Denby (Anita Louise) and her intended husband Jack, as well as the bumbling detective trio Garrity, Harrigan and Mulligan the (Ritz Brothers) . The butler Peters looms ominously over the fracas as the buffoonish investigators tag one suspect after the other. To keep the suspense on constant trigger point, the murderer periodically announces imminent bloodshed over a rigged radio. Who is the murderer, and who are the mysterious characters that pop up from one hilarious scene to the other?
