Much to Norma Lawry's (Ann Harding) dismay, her one-time boyfriend - has-been actor Paul Gerente (John Emery) - is dating her seventeen-year-old stepdaughter Barbara (Donna Reed). When Paul is found murdered, Norma recruits the help of blind detective Duncan MacLain (Edward Arnold) rather than go to the police. But when they return to the scene of the crime, they discover the actor's body is mysteriously missing. Noting the scent of violets in the room, MacLain uses this small clue to uncover a conspiracy far greater than simple murder. (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
