An amusing B comedy mystery has Lis Angeles D.A. Neil Hamilton up against a mystery playwright (Evelyn Venable) to solve a real murder mystery after he criticizes her latest play. The future commissioner Gordon of "Batman" T.V. fame is far less serious in his crime fighting efforts, trying to take Venable down a peg as she keeps upping him every chance she gets.
The stadium mystery surrounds the sudden murder of a prize fighter, and Venable makes herself very useful on solving the case which had fellow boxers, various lady friends and underworld sorts among the suspects. Several non-suspects take credit for the killing, only briefly throwing a monkey ranch into the plot. Cheaply done but fast moving, this may not be worthy of a series like other comedy detective stories, but it is an awful lot of fun.
