- Set in France in 1880. A series of murders is attributed to a Wolf Man.
- "Mark's Priory," the Lebanons' family seat, is a house of terror to Ilsa Crane, Lady Lebanon's niece and secretary. The strange behavior of two sinister footmen, Gilder and Brooks, adds greatly to her fear, and her sole consolation lies in the sympathy extended her by young Lord William "Willie" Lebanon. A young architect, Richard Ferraby, arrives from London to inspect the ancient home in regards to renovations, and he and Isla are immediately attracted to each other. Lady Lebanon tells her son that he must marry Isla to carry on the family name but Lord Willie tells her he has no intentions of marrying. Later, the family physician, Dr. Amersham, arrives and it is evident he has some hold over Lady Lebanon. The chauffeur, Studd, hints that he knew Amersham in India and that Amersham was discharged from the Indian Army under unsavory circumstances. Isla and Richard find Studd murdered and suspicion falls on the gamekeeper, Tilling, whose wife had been more than a little friendly with Studd. But Chief Inspector Tanner and Deputy Sergeant Totty arrive from Scotland Yard and uncover evidence that points to Dr. Aversham as the killer, and Lord Willie substantiates the clue by telling them that Aversham had strangled a young Eurasian girl in India by using a red scarf--and Studd was found strangled with a red scarf. Just when the police are about to fold up their tidy little case, a telegram arrives from "Mark's Priory" informing them that Aversham has just been found murdered--strangled with a red scarf. Back to the drawing board.
- Myra Harding, owner of the Harding Ranch, is the latest victim of a ruthless band of rustlers. In desperation, she sends for the State Inspector, whom she has never met but who is reputed to be one of the most fearless men in the country. While out riding the range one day, Myra's brother Buzzy and his friend, Dude Bates, come across a lost prospector, Ken Blair. They take him back to the ranch, where he is cared for by Myra, who cannot understand why the investigator has not yet arrived. In the meantime, Fred Ames, owner of the neighboring Rolling S ranch, expresses his affection for Myra and his intense dislike of Ken. Ken, having fallen in love with Myra, decides to make his recuperation a slow one, much to Ames's displeasure. When Buzzy tells Ken that he overheard Fred's ranch hands boasting that their boss lied about his cattle losses, Ken enlists the boy's aid in apprehending the rustlers. Ken then rides to the Rolling S, where he discovers that Fred has ordered three high speed trucks to transport the stolen cattle. Ken had suspected that trucks were being used, and with Buzzy's help, he goes to work and traps the rustlers in their box canyon hideout. Much to the surprise of Myra, Ames is unmasked as the head of the rustlers, and Marshal Ken Blair, who had used the lost prospector identity to get to the ranch in the most inconspicuous manner, is now free to tell Myra that he has won the battle against the thieves but lost his heart to her.
- Foxes are mysteriously disappearing from fox farms and Agent Don has been sent to investigate. Brad and Pete are the culprits and they are using a dog that can climb the security fence to steal the foxes. Don brings a dog with him and when Carol sees a dog stealing a fox, she accuses Don.
- Ted Healey, a British man, is employed in a factory which makes anti-submarine patrol boats fitted with a secret torpedo device. Healy is in the pay of the German Secret Service and his wife, Freyda, constantly reproaches him for treachery to his country. He promises her as soon as he has made his fortune, he will stop his spy activities. He refuses to turn over the pictures he has taken of the blueprints to Lemnel, head of the German spies, until he has been paid 5000 Pounds. The Germans have a plan to get the pictures and dispose of Healey and he takes a bit of drastic action of his own. He kills a man of his own build, decapitates and mutilates the body and plants papers on the torso to make the Germans and the British Intelligence assume he is dead. But both discover he is still alive and set traps for him. The Brit trap is a beautiful British agent, Maria Dufreyne, who meets Healey and gains his confidence. Gaining his confidence leads to a series of embraces between Maria and Healey, and when the British agents show the pictures to Freyda she is somewhat incensed about her husband's infidelity... and the Germans are also closing in.
- Rancher Timothy Wade (Milburn Morante)is ambushed by a masked man riding a pinto horse. His young son, Buzzy Wade (Robert 'Buzz' Henry) and the loyal ranch foreman, Dude Bates (George Morrell), are mystified as to who anyone would kill Wade. But, Jim Dana (Dave O'Brien (I)'), a U.S. government undercover agent, has his suspicions that the reason may have been in order to acquire the ranch from Buzzy and his older sister, Ruth (Dorothy Short). Dana thinks the ranch may have a large deposit of a mineral useful to a foreign country. His suspicions are confirmed when a couple of guys with heavy-accents show up inquiring about the property.
- Somewhat freewheeling romantic story of a British dancer in love with Schubert, who is jealous of the rival composer Beethoven, but is inspired by his love to write several of his greatest works.
- Another one of those many B-films that the paid "expert" researchers at a certain institute in Hollywood can't seem to figure out when and where it came from, so just appear to guess. This is neither a 1942 production nor release. It was filmed in April, 1939 as an Atlas Production produced by C. C. Burr for Spectrum Pictures Corporation distribution. The Atlas/Spectrum tent and fixtures folded before this could be distributed, and it was salvaged from the trash bin of undistributed films in 1940 by Arthur Ziehn---one of Hollywood's great "junk" dealers---and released on July 27, 1940, nearly a year after completion of the film. The only functional "crew credit" Arthur Ziehn has or deserves relative to this film is one of having Atlas Productions deleted above the title and shipping it out with "Arthur Ziehm, Inc" inserted where the Atlas/Spectrum credits had been. With the exception of the leading lady, Iris Lancaster in place of Claire Rochelle, the cast and credits for this film are virtually identical to the Atlas/Spectrum/Burr "Two Gun Troubador" from March, 1939. Plot has Fred Martin (Fred Scott) and sidekick Fuzzy Jones (Harry Harvey) saving Carmencita (Iris Lancaster) from the evil intents of Walters (Jack Ingram) and his minions, with hero Scott decked out with an all-white hat,shirt and (trust me) pants.
- Wilbur Crane is a meek, mild-mannered bookkeeper who no longer finds his wife Martha attractive and looks for a fling among the fast crowd. First-class gold-digger Dorothy and her business-manager friend Danny oblige him. Through camera angles, "art" photos, some semi-nudity, special camera-effects (by Ray Mercer), off-screen voices, and strange interludes in Wilbur's mind, long-time poverty-row B-western director Bernard B. Ray embarks on the exploitation trail.
- Musical extravaganza, also filmed in a French language version, based on the life of Johann Strauss.
- When Carl Pearson is wrongful accused of killing his brother, it's clear that he has been a pawn in a conspiracy to steal the blueprints to a new plane.
