On the eve of his wedding to Lady Eileen Meredith, American millionaire Robert Grell is murdered in his home, and Heldon Foyle, executive chief inspector at New Scotland Yard, is on the case. But wait—the murdered man only resembles Grell; the American has gone into hiding and it will take all of the resources of the CID to flush him out. An early police procedural by an actual CID detective who really loves his police procedure: raids on gambling houses share equal billing with exciting scenes of reviewing files and shuffling paperwork.
