In the dimly lit backstage of a travelling theatre troupe, a chilling murder takes place, casting a grim shadow over the world of drama. The victim: an actress. Standing dazed near the lifeless body is Diana Baring, another actress from the group, trapped in a haze of amnesia. The circumstantial evidence, as sinister as the setting itself, all points towards her. Caught in the unforgiving gears of justice, Diana is swiftly tried and convicted for the ghastly crime. However, amidst the jury, a flicker of doubt burns in the heart of Sir John Menier, a renowned actor. Convinced of Diana's innocence despite the damning evidence, he embarks on a relentless pursuit of the truth. Determined to unmask the real perpetrator before the final curtain falls on Diana's life, Sir John's suspicions veer towards an intriguing figure - Diana's boyfriend, an acrobat donning a dress. Murder! (1930) weaves a complex tapestry of mystery, justice, and the unquenchable thirst for truth in the gripping backdrop of the theatre.
