Jasper is secretly in love with Rosa Bu<l, who is engaged to his nephew, Edwin Brood.

What really did happen will be revealed when “The .Mystery of Edwin Brood” is released in Wellington.
Tiie cast in support of Claude Rains includes Douglass Montgomery, Heather Angel, David Manners, Valerie Hobson, Francis L. Sullivan, and many others.
