Synopsis
Former jewel thief and reformed detective Michael Lanyard (Warren William), or the Lone Wolf, is driving to a party with his butler Jamison (Eric Blore). Halfway through the journey, they come across Eve Andrews (Marguerite Chapman), who requests that they bring her to Harry Cooper's (Gerald Mohr) residence. Meanwhile, Cooper, an unprofessed criminal, is carrying out a scheme to loot the jewellery of select wealthy persons — namely, Jane Merrick (Monia Barrie), Sonia Budenny (Tala Birell) and Andrews. Cooper is killed before he can finish his plans by an unknown assailant. Lanyard, who happens to be at the scene, is pinpointed by the suspicious police as the perpetrator. He escapes but is found by magazine writer Sidney Shaw (Warren Ashe), who agrees not to rat Lanyard out in exchange for a scoop.Actors
