“Chester Morris stars as an investigator who finds lost persons. In his latest case, he found a woman (Jean Parker) and married her and is planning on a nice honeymoon in Reno of all places (nothing says romance than this city famed for its divorces!). Soon, however, Chester’s pesky boss locates them and convinces him to take one more ‘easy case’. Well, naturally the case is anything but easy and involves lots of peril. Can the couple manage to finish the case and survive at least long enough to consummate their marriage?
There isn’t anything especially deep or memorable about this film–it’s a low- budgeted B-mystery and Hollywood made a bazillion of these back in the 30s and 40s. It’s a bit better than many simply because Morris is so good in such roles and Parker is cute as his rather clueless bride–though I must admit that the plot is a bit more complicated and confusing than the norm.”
Wahoo! We had our first tomatoes from the garden on Tuesday and are about to have our first ears of sweetcorn for lunch. In July!
Our cherry crop was a flop though. Bloody pests!

JH: Thos cherries really are pests, yes.
