The heirs of the dying owner of a valuable radium mine are being murdered as a mining engineer tries to uncover the killer and clear his cousin's name.
Though set in 1934, this film is set in a western parallel universe with only an automobile at the end giving it away. It's a tautly-strung mystery with an enticing creepy atmosphere, some good characters especially the scary looking Mrs Borg, and that horribly sounding stamping machine. It's quite nail biting at times. Scott, in his early appearance, does well as does the sheriff he helps. It's creaky at times, but that can add to the creepiness.
