The Mystery of the Riverboat
(1945)
Adventure / Serial
Three Louisiana families, the Langtrys, Perrins and Duvals, as co-owners of swampland in the Louisiana bayou country. Unaware that the property contains rich "nitrolene" deposits, they are considering an offer from speculator Herman Einreich (Ian Wolfe), who is well aware of the secret, having killed the scientist who discovered it and stolen his geological maps and notes.
He boards a riverboat, "The Morning Glory", heading for Duval's Landing. Others on the boat are the skipper, Captain Ethan Perrin (Oscar O'Shea), his daughter Jenny (Marjory Clements); Steve Langtry (Robert Lowery); Rudolph Toller (Lyle Talbot); Bruno Bloch (Anthony Warde) and Louis Shaber (Joe Devlin). Murder and mystery ensue onboard the riverboat!
