DESCRIPTION:

Hollywood crooner Vic Morton has millions of adoring fans around the globe and his new picture "Heartaches," is a smash hit. Tinseltown's best-kept secret is that Vic can't sing a note. His old pal, piano player "Bogie" Mann dubs in the voice, while handsome heartthrob Vic lip-synchs the tunes as the cameras roll. Vic is stunned when he receives an anonymous death threat letter. He barely survives a scene when someone substitutes real ammunition for blanks in a prop gun. While police are investigating the failed attempt, Vic's press agent is murdered. The detectives intensify their efforts in a desperate attempt to save the life of movie land's biggest star.

Producers' Releasing Corporation does an admirable job of wrapping a first-rate mystery yarn around the hit song "Heartaches."
