Murder by Television (1935) is an American mystery film starring Bela Lugosi, June Collyer, and Huntley Gordon.

Houghland's assistant, Arthur Perry, has apparently accepted a bribe of $100,000.00 to be a personal spy for a large industrial company.

Richard Grayson is supposedly an industrial spy on a similar mission, and has apparently gotten in romantic good with Professor Houghland's daughter June.

But it is revealed that he was the dishonest twin brother of FBI investigator Edwin Perry; who appears out of nowhere and frightens all the ladies.

Edwin Perry reveals the scientific method in which the murder was committed, and finds stolen blueprints of the invention in a secret compartment in the guilty party's wallet.
