Nolan Shayne film #6 has the detective improbably on the jury of a high profile New York murder trial. After a witness is murdered mid testimony by a professional knife thrower, Shayne sneaks out of sequester and teams with an old flame lady reporter (Marjorie Reynolds in her third Shayne picture) to solve the case. A pre 'Sargent Bilko' Phil Silvers plays a newspaper photographer bent on getting a shot of Shayne on the lose. The only of Nolan's Shayne pictures to have an original screenplay, not be adapted from an existing novel or play, it's the weaker for it. Jurors asking questions in open court, I mean really. **
