The Malpas Mystery is a 1960 British second feature ('B')[1] crime film, directed by Sidney Hayers and starring Maureen Swanson and Allan Cuthbertson.

Although originally made by Independent Artists at Beaconsfield studios, it was included in the Merton Park series of Edgar Wallace Mysteries.

When Audrey Bedford is released from prison, she finds herself embroiled with mysterious doctors, missing heirs, diamonds and murder.

Her step-sister has dubious motives for letting her stay with her, an employer wants to pay her to work for somebody else, and a detective, convinced that she was wrongly convicted, tries despite her protests to protect her from further trouble.

Slightly above the average of Merton Park's recent Edgar Wallace adaptations, it is competently made [and] maintains its air of mystery.
