The Unsuspected

Complicated noir-thriller involving murder, blackmail, amnesia, and an inheritance. Rains is appropriately suave and creepy as Victor Grandison, the host of a successful crime-mystery radio program. Of course it's because Victor is a murderous crazy who is planning to take over the inheritance of allegedly dead niece Matilda (Caulfield). Matilda makes a surprising return to her home, temporarily thwarting Victor, who must also alter his plans when suspicious Steven Howard (North) becomes involved after Steven's friend (and Grandison's secretary) is found dead.
