The Mysterious Magician
Directed by Alfred Vohrer
Produced by Rialto Film
A mid-century crime thriller built on cat-and-mouse tension between a cunning criminal and determined inspector, leavened with comedic elements that keep the tone from becoming too grim.
The sister of a famous, but as yet uncaught, criminal named "The Hexer" is murdered. Inspector Higgins of Scotland Yard believes that "The Hexer" will surface to take his revenge on his sister's killers, and plans to set a trap to finally capture him. However, soon bodies start piling up, and it looks as if "The Hexer" may get away yet again.
