RKO Radio Pictures
Starring: Guy Kibbee, Cora Witherspoon, Dorothy Moore
Directed by: Edward Killy

Synopsis: Dr. Bertram Simms (Guy Kibbee) is a small town veterinarian whose family inherits the large estate of his uncle and move to the big city, little realizing that the uncle was the head of a large crime syndicate.

Purr Blurs: In the beginning of the film a small dog limps into Dr. Simm’s veterinarian clinic, followed a moment later by Chet (Gordon Jones), the boyfriend of Dr. Simms’ daughter.  As they talk we are shown a line of cages with animals inside and in the lower left corner is a cat.

Later when Dr. Simms and his family move into the big estate he secretly opens a practice in the pool house.  Just after his wife Elizabeth (Cora Witherspoon) finds this out, Dr. Simms and Chet have a talk and once again you can just barely see a cat in a cage in the background.

Final Mewsings: Unfortunately cats play second fiddle to dogs and even a penguin in this film!
