The Crimson Canary backdrop

The Crimson Canary 1945 Directed by John Hoffman

Rhythm cults exposed!

When a conniving female singer turns up dead, with the evidence pointing to the band’s drummer, jazz trumpeter Danny Brooks attempts to clear him—only to implicate himself and the rest of the band in the process. Can a jazz-loving police detective and Danny’s fiancée solve the case before the next downbeat?
