Synopsis
When the handsome actor Bob Meakin was cast in the latest Northburn Films movie, he couldn’t believe his lucky stars. But with the crew in position and the camera rolling, Meakin trips on more than his lines, falling directly beneath the wheels of an oncoming train.
The producers claim this to be no more than an appalling accident, but subsequent events convince Inspector Henry Tibbett that murder was added to the script.
