Grand Central Murder (1942)

In the pulsating heart of New York City, Grand Central Station becomes the unexpected stage for a high-stakes manhunt. A hardened criminal named Turk, shackled by the damning testimony of his former flame, stage sensation Mida King, manages to slip away from his captors. Mida, basking in the limelight and the gold it promises, is thrown into turmoil by a chilling phone call from the vengeful Turk. In a desperate bid to escape her past, Mida abandons the gilded stage for the steel rails, planning to elope with her wealthy fiancé, David Henderson. However, love triangles cast long shadows, and David's jilted ex-fiancée, Constance Furness, looms in the background. On arrival at the private railcar rendezvous, they find not a blushing bride-to-be, but a lifeless Mida. The labyrinthine station echoes with whispers of murder, drawing the seasoned Inspector Gunther to the scene. With a steely determination, he gathers an eclectic ensemble of suspects, each with their own tale to tell about Mida's relentless pursuit of fame and fortune. Among the fray are the scorned Turk, a slew of bitter men ensnared by Mida's gold-digging ways, envious women, and the savvy private eye duo, Rocky and Sue "Buster" Custer. The Custers, immersed in their own crusade to prove Turk's innocence, find themselves ensnared in the murder mystery, playing a dual role of suspects and amateur sleuths. As Inspector Gunther delves deeper into the case, he finds himself faced with a conundrum – a surplus of evidence threatening to incriminate them all. The killer lurks in their midst, their identity concealed by the bustling chaos of Grand Central Station. The question remains, who silenced Mida King, and why?
