The Mystery Club

The plot revolves around an organization of millionaires who create a wager instigated by Cranahan. They challenge each other to commit crimes without being caught, with Inspector Burke acting as the arbiter. The stakes are high, with a forfeiture of $25,000 on the line, and the members draw lots to determine who will be the criminal.

Tension escalates when Inspector Burke is reported murdered. The members of the Mystery Club consider canceling their agreement but face the dilemma of not being able to locate the document outlining their wager. With a cast that includes Matt Moore, Edith Roberts, and Warner Oland, this film reflects the intrigue and suspense characteristic of the mystery genre during the silent film era. For collectors, the availability of The Mystery Club on DVD offers a chance to own a piece of early cinematic history.
