Michael Shayne: Private Detective

Hiram Brighton, a wealthy sportsman, enlists gumshoe Michael Shayne to keep his spoiled daughter Phyllis from racetrack betting windows and roulette wheels. After Phyllis slips away and resumes her compulsive gambling, Shayne fakes the murder of her gambler boyfriend—who is also romancing the daughter of casino owner Benny Gordon—to frighten her. When the tout is genuinely murdered, Shayne and Phyllis' Aunt Olivia, an avid reader of murder mysteries, both set out to identify the killer.
