Playboy and ne'er-do-well Gordon Bates is dead, that's for sure. But who dun it? That's not so sure. There are suspects aplenty. So From Headquarters comes the army of crime specialists - toxicologists, fingerprint experts, ballistic experts, technicians running data-card tabulations on Hollerith machines and, for good measure, authorities on the use of invisible ink - that know the how dun it can point to the who. George Brent and Eugene Pallette portray the lead crime dogs in this swift sniff-out of a killer that sifts through murderous means and motives at an engagingly pell-mell pace.
