A public library at night is the setting for this fast-moving crime caper. George Sanders is a
gentleman crook specializing in selling forgeries of rare books. In the company of phony
policemen, Sanders enters the library unmolested and pilfers a priceless Shakespeare folio
in order to expedite his operation. The criminal's girl friend/accomplice Gail Patrick is willing
to go along with the crime until Sanders begins displaying a homicidal streak. She calls in a
detective (Richard Denning) to foil the criminal. A murder or two later, Sanders is tracked
down amidst the dark, forbidding library shelves. It's no small trick to make a library
exciting, but Quiet Please, Murder pulls this off with speed and economy.
