Storyline The first of several delightful “Hildegarde Withers” mysteries, starring Edna May as an astringent school teacher turned amateur detective. When Police Inspector (Gleason) gruffly asks who she is, he’s informed, “I’m a schoolteacher and I might have done wonders with you, if I’d caught you early enough.” |
