Mr. Moto (Peter Lorre) is present, albeit in disguise, at the discovery of the crown of the Queen of Sheba, and he later exerts himself to thwart the many crooks — including the master criminal called Metaxa, whose identity is unknown — who wish to steal the crown from the museum where it has been deposited. Lionel Atwill is on hand as the museum’s curator, and there are plenty of other familiar faces, along with enough action to satisfy.

  Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.
