Plot
An apparent accident involving a horse in Central Park leads a police inspector to join forces with a schoolteacher (Hildegarde Withers, played by Helen Broderick) to solve a woman's death.
There is a long list of suspects and motivations for the murder. This was the first in this series to not feature Edna May Oliver in the lead, but the chemistry between James Gleason and Helen Broderick is a good mix.
