She had a grown daughter to help with her romantic problems; a teen-aged miss who needed handling and other everyday issues. To add to all this, she had the additional problem of an old retired Colonel whom she took in as a boarder, for the financial help he contributed. LAW MEN (Mono.) Western.

Plot: At a coroner's inquest, a doctor tells his story about the killing of a young girl whose body was found on the grounds of his sanitarium. She had appeared suddenly, at a circus, after the disappearance of an ape. She had all animal instincts and when she attempted to kill the doctor's daughter he accidentally gave her an overdose of adrenalin, in trying to subdue her. He is acquitted. HIDDEN VALLEY OUTLAWS (Rep.) Western. Principals: Bill Elliott, George Hayes, Anne Jeffreys, Roy Barcroft, Kenne Duncan. Director, Howard Bretherton. Plot: In the early days of the Southwest, the government issued to war veterans certain papers called Head Rights, which allowed these men to settle and claim ownership on any unoccupied land. These Head Rights were as negotiable as money, and often fell into the hands of unscrupulous men. Such a man was the lawyer of the town, his friendly manner concealing his position as secret head of a gang. Bill Elliott is called in to solve the mystery and he manages to straighten out the mess.
