[5] Showman Pel Pelham is contacted by an old friend Tony who has received a blackmail letter signed "Delores".

Reaching her apartment he discovers she is an old pal, Rena, who has fallen on hard times and got mixed up with someone she regrets.

In the apartment downstairs Pel offers to set up his Russian friend, Sapolio, in a "starvation act" to break the world record.

But someone passes strychnine-laced food inside the cage and Sapolio, suffering from the poisoning, breaks the glass and accidentally kills himself.

Monthly Film Bulletin said "Whatever possibilities were latent in this crime story, the result is so disjointed and jerky as to suggest that at some stage some fairly heavy cutting has taken place.
