While it certainly looks that way it remains an enjoyable outing from fade-in to fade-out. In the tradition of 'Ten Little Indians' a group of disparate types are lured to a supposedly haunted mansion on a remote island. Their 'host' is peg-legged privateer Tobias Leo Carrillo who possesses half of a valuable treasure map. One by one the treasure-hunters are killed off by a mysterious assailant with Tobias the first victim. <br/><br/>White wrappers production No. 1132 dated March 22 1941 with credits for cast members Dick Foran Leo Carrillo Peggy Moran Fuzzy Knight John Eldredge and Lewis Howard as well as director Waggner. 133 leaves mimeograph duplication. <br/><br/>The "Double Bill Trailer" script is in white wrappers side-stapled rubber-stamped copy No. 6883 production nos. 1137 and 1119 dated March 29 1941 with credits for both films and "Central Files" in holograph pencil in the upper left corner. 8 leaves mimeograph duplication. <br/><br/>Pages Near Fine with a small corner crease to the first page.
