“Midnight Manhunt” with William Gargan and Ann Savage. There’s murder and there’s mirth! Mr. Gargan and Miss Savage, portraying rival reporters, also take care of the romantic requirement, and a nice pairing of personalities it is.
The picture opens with a murder by Zucco in plain view of the camera, after which the story concerns the purloining and sequestering of the corpus delicti by newspaper reporters and other persons who have various reasons for wanting to (1) retain and or (2) relinquish possession of it. The place is New York, the time is any time, and it all happens in one night.
