Fifteen Wives (1934)
"A new type of melodramatic mystery thriller with a new type of detective solving the strangest crimes in the annals of murder."
Shortly after his arrival from South America to New York, Steven Humbolt is found dead in his apartment at the Savoia Hotel. Inspector Decker Dawes investigates the case and although the cause of death is described as apoplexy, Dawes is convinced it as murder, especially after he learns that Humbolt had been married fifteen times.
