WARNING: SPOILERS A very talented cast was wasted in this odd film.
Strange story of a Chicago mobster who inherits an English estate and the title "Earl of Gorley." A former friend whom he framed gets out of prison and tells him of the inheritance, making him think that all is forgiven. They go to England, where the Earl discovers he has been tricked, as revenge, by his former friend. According to law, the estate he inherited can never be sold, and it will produce no income for him for at least seven years, until past bills have been paid by the estate's income.
Enraged, the Earl kills his former friend (an "overreaction" is putting it mildly), is caught red-handed, is tried in the House of Lords, and is executed by hanging. Nothing very interesting here, just a straightforward murder w/subsequent justice meted out to the perpetrator. The fine cast, including Robert Montgomery, Edward Arnold, Reginald Owen and Edmund Gwenn, does what it can with a rather dull script, but they can't save it.
