For the ninth time, Warner Baxter plays Dr. Robert Ordway, better known to movie (and
radio) fans as "The Crime Doctor". Ordway is in Paris, mingling with the upper crust of the
art world. A murder is committed and a valuable painting is stolen; the principal suspects
are the victim's son (Roger Dann), the father (Steven Geray) of the heroine (Micheline
Cheirel), and an attorney (Marcel Journet). Ordway's search for the missing masterpiece
takes him all over the European continent, while the solution to the murder takes him back
to Paris. Crime Doctor's Gamble was directed by William Castle, long before he'd
established himself as the king of "gimmick" horror films.
