Professional magician John Calvert stars as the debonair amateur sleuth known to friend and foe alike as The Falcon. This time our hero must contend with not one, but two baffling murders. It all begins when the Falcon goes on the prowl for the missing partner of gamblers Kirk (Albert Dekker ) and Gregory ( Ben Welden ), who has skipped town with $100,000. The leading-lady responsibilities are handled by Myrna Dell , decked out in several enticing low-cut gowns. The mystery angle is well-handled, with a reasonably surprising solution. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide One of the three pictures in the "Falcon" series that don't really have anything to do with the previous 13 George Sanders-Tom Conway vehicles. Calvert plays the debonaire private eye, hired to find a pair of gamblers who have kidnaped a man and stolen $100,000. A rather confusing mess that was one of the weaker "Falcon" entries.
