Starring: Tom Conway, Mona Maris, Martha Vickers
Directed by: William Berke

Synopsis: Tom “The Falcon” Lawrence (Tom Conway) stumbles upon a beautiful Mexican woman breaking into an art gallery in which they find a murdered man.  The Falcon then travels to Mexico to try to figure out the story behind the killing.

Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): At the very beginning of the film The Falcon is seen promising his girlfriend Isabel that he won’t become involved in any more mysteries.  As he walks away he nearly walks beneath a ladder.  Seconds later a black cat is seen walking down the sidewalk toward him.

The cat pauses at The Falcon’s feet (likely some kind of incentive item was smeared on the shoes) then slowly crosses his path and moves along.  It’s after this that The Falcon sees the woman breaking into the art gallery and a new mystery begins.

Final Mewsings: Black cats can bring mystery to your life!
