Directed by Roy Del Ruth
When several women are found mutilated and murdered, the Paris police are baffled as to who the killer may be. All evidence points to Dupin, but soon it becomes apparent that it is someone (or something) stronger and deadlier than a human.
Mad passions, madder deeds in the Edgar Allan Poe chiller!
