As the Devil Commands is a 1932 American pre-Code film written by Jo Swerling from a story by Keene Thompson.

It is directed by Roy William Neill and stars Alan Dinehart, Mae Clarke and Neil Hamilton.

He is ineptly defended by Waldo, who is hoping for a conviction and a death sentence, which if it happens, he will be the sole heir to Duncan's fortune.

He plans to kill Graham and make it look like an accident, but a hiccup occurs when Morgan resurfaces and blackmails Waldo with his eyewitness testimony of Duncan's murder.

The film had the working title of Acquitted, which was changed shortly before its release in December 1932, to As the Devil Commands.

[3] The Austin American gave the film a mostly positive review, applauding the work of Dinehart, Hamilton, and Clarke, although they felt the romantic elements of the picture were a bit thin.
