Mystery Woman

Rod La Rocque is striped of his military rank and sent to Devil's Island for stealing military secrets. His wife, Mona Barrie, does not believe him guilty. She quickly settles on John Halliday as the traitor, and takes the same ship as he. It's quickly established she is right, and he is smuggling those papers to New York to sell to others. She hopes to get close enough to grab them. She seems to be doing a great job. However, Gilbert Roland is also trying to steal those papers, when he's not busy pursuing the lovely lady.

This proceeds and a rapid pace. That's not surprising, given it's directed by Eugene Forde, better remembered for his B and serial work than for excellence. Still, with the capable cast, he's able to move along quickly, even though it appears that it's been trimmed a trifle too much by editors Duncan Cramer and Lewis Creber. With Mischa Auer, Billy Bevan, and George Barraud.
