by George Harmon Coxe ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 15, 1951
Barbados proving quite a hot spot for Duncan Ward, when he understudies for a friend, Jim McQuade, on a visit to a wealthy, dying uncle. The uncle's murder, and the almost simultaneous death of his friend lend criminal possibilities to an innocent impersonation, but the exposure of bigamy, blackmail and a second murder provide other tangents to the killer. Nothing to brood about, but a strictly professional polish.
