Opera star Gino D'Acosta (
Leo Carrillo), due to perform in the open air of the Hollywood Bowl, is warned by a Swami (
Pedro de Cordoba)that he will die if he sings. That warning comes to pass and his death proves to be murder. Police detective Steve Farrell (
Chester Morris) works backstage to sort out the clues pointing to the identity of the killer. Suspects include a primma donna, her conductor husband, an insane composer, an ambitious singer and a dancer and her husband partner.
