Preston S. Foster and Frank Jenks play Bill Crane and Doc Williams, the
pulp-novel detectives created by mystery writer Jonathan Latimer. Crane
and Williams tackle the case of a morgue robbery; the missing body is that
of a young woman who died mysteriously. As the detectives follow the
clues, they uncover a deeper mystery, seemingly unconnected with the
stolen corpse. Ultimately they discover that the person or persons
unknown who swiped the lady in the morgue has a great deal to hide, and
won't stop at thievery to hide it. Lady in the Morgue was the third film in
Universal's Crime Club series.
