The Crimson Circle

A shadowy gang of blackmailers is wreaking havoc among London’s financial elite, knocking off those who refuse to cough up the ransom. Scotland Yard’s Inspector Parr seems powerless to protect the victims, but can amateur sleuth Derek Yale crack the case? This gripping tale from the prolific imagination of Edgar Wallace squeezes countless twists and turns into its compact running time. As a duplicitous femme fatale, 17-year-old June Duprez holds her own among a cast of old hands, including Hollywood import Noah Beery, whose sleazy conman steals his every scene.
