Sidney Blackmer (Rosemary’s Baby) stars as a sharp minded police commissioner out to solve a baffling murder in The Panther’s Claw. A creepy wig maker is caught by police traipsing through a cemetery at night, and they hardly believe him when he claims to have been sent there by a blackmailer known as The Black Panther. After a little looking in to the minor oddity, Blackmer is forced to pounce on the wig maker when his girlfriend is found murdered. But none of the clues add up, and Blackmer must search through deception and misdirection to find the truth. The Panther’s Claw is a taut and tense mystery full of plausible and engaging suspects that remains unsolvable to the very end.
