Lone Wolf to the rescue!

Warren William makes his fourth appearance as the title character Lone Wolf, and this time film centres on former jewel thief Michael Lanyard, aiming to recover his stamp collection as well as helping a damsel in distress, whose fiancée is accused of murder, and this involves a kidnapping.

The usual fun and games occur in this standard entry, but the comedy can overpower the mystery elements, whereas the previous entries I have seen balanced mystery and comedy quite well. Nevertheless, The Lone Wolf keeps a date is enjoyable, zips at a fast rate, and Jamison, Lone Wolf's valet - played by Eric Blore - is just as fast thinking as his boss. The leading lady was very pretty.
