US sleuth Whispering Smith arrives in London on vacation, but soon becomes embroiled in a murder case.

An American railroad detective bumps heads with Scotland Yard in "Whispering Smith vs. Scotland Yard" (the USA theatrical title as shown on site in all 9 production stills and poster no. 12) in a film produced in England by Julian Lesser in association with Exclusive Films, Ltd. Coming to England on a vacation Whispering Smith (Ricard Carlson) is immediately involved in a case of "apparent suicide." Starting the case as a lark, Smith quickly finds himself up to his ears in mayhem, lovely suspect Louise Balfour (Greta Gynt), pretty secretary Ann Carter (Rona Anderson), and a ring of blackmailers including a crooked lawyer and a puppet fancier. Scotland Yard had found a death to be a suicide, but Smith finds it was a murder and while dodging a similar fate himself he has time for light romance with Ann Carter.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
