Shake Hands with Murder is a 1944 American comedy mystery film directed by Albert Herman and starring Iris Adrian, Frank Jenks and Douglas Fowley.

[1] Patsy Brent runs a small bail bond company.

Her ambitious but dull-witted partner Eddie Jones secures bail for Steve Morgan, a man accused of embezzling $100,000 from his bank.

When the president of the bank is found murdered, she also suspects that Morgan may even be a killer as well.

However he is trying to prove his innocence of the charge, and Brent is persuaded to assist him in finding the real culprit.
