One of the men from her past hires a criminal, Gary Curtis, to steal some letters back from Wren. Curtis, played by Ricardo Cortez, arrives just in time to see Jenny Wren killed by a dart. Wren dies in Curtis’ arms without telling him who murdered her.

Curtis and his men attempt to leave but a fierce thunderstorm washes out the road. Curtis realizes he must solve the murder before the police arrive or he and his crew will be charged with the murder.

While Curtis is the criminal, little difference can be seen between him and the society men of position. Centrais, Curtis appears much more noble than the men involved with Jenny Wren.

I saw this film years ago on American Movie Classics (AMC) but have not seen it for quite some time. After purchasing an Amazon Prime membership, I saw the movie was available to rent. It was as entertaining as I remembered.

Despite being an early sound film (enlace de afiliado), you can hear and see the scenes well. Only the outside scenes can be a little grainy. The Phantom of Crestwood runs 76 actas. Well worth the viewing.
