The Sphinx
A man known to be a mute is suspected of committing a murder, as he was noticed at the scene. However, witnesses saw and heard him talking as he was leaving the scene of the crime. The police must determine if he is the actual killer or if he is being framed.

Perennial bad guy, Lionel Atwill stars in this mystery, involving murder, a frame up, secret passageways, and a twin brother. I downloaded the source for this movie, from archive.org; and cleaned up the audio a bit.
