ROGUE'S TAVERN is an "old dark house" type mystery-thriller set in the Red Rock Inn. Wallace Ford is a department store detective who happens to be at the inn with his fiancee (Barbara Pepper) when the requisite murders begin. At first, we're led to believe that a mad dog is responsible for the deaths. Then, we find that it might not be that simple.
This is a notch above the slew of similarly-themed movie's of the period. Ford puts in a solid performance in his fairly reserved, levelheaded role, unlike his usual goofball characters. Ms. Pepper is fun to watch in her sleuthing role.
