Plot
Diana, a stripper, collapses and dies during a dance routine on stage at the Flamingo Club. When her death is ruled to be due to natural causes, her husband, comedian and compere Bert Black, turns detective to investigate when he discovers suspicious circumstances but the police are not convinced and refuse to pursue the matter. Black comes to suspect Diana was killed accidentally rather than the person who was the real target and sets out to prove it.
Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A combination of modest murder mystery and mild striptease club acts, this unassuming production has little to recommend it except the unexpectedly good characterisation of the tragedy-hit but persevering Bert." [3]
Kine Weekly wrote: "Combining the suspense of a murder plot with the 'delights' of strip-tease is quite an idea, and it has been pretty well done. ... The fairly straightforward plot has been told in a straightforward way, without any real attempt at creating a mystery, and the strip tease intervals at the club are quite naturally slotted into the amateur detection." [4]
