Plot
Store detective Linda Allen, who is engaged to marry clerk Tommy Braddock, works in the jewelry department. Mr. Zero (Henry Brandon), a master of disguise is hired to pose as a wax figure in the store's display window, challenging the customers to guess which figure is a real person. The store's safe is robbed of a large cache of jewels and the store manager William Bentley is murdered during the robbery. Linda and Tommy discover the body and are regarded as prime suspects by Police Inspector O'Hara. Linda determines the thief was Mr. Zero and follows him to his waxworks hideout. A young Lon Chaney Jr. appears uncredited in two brief sequences playing one of the two henchmen who guard Mr. Zero's waxworks museum.
