Van Dine"; there is a murder at a mansion where someone drowns in a pool that legend says a dragon inhabits, and when they drain the pool, there is no body, but there are dragon prints, and therefore it seems that the dragon is the killer, but of course, there is an alternate explanation that Philo Vance discovers at the film's climax) starring Warren William (as Philo Vance), Margaret Lindsay, Lyle Talbot, Eugene Pallette, Helen Lowell, George E. Stone, William B. Davidson, and Dorothy Tree. Note that William Powell first played Philo Vance in 1929's "The Canary Murder Case" and after the character proved very popular, he followed it the next year with "The Greene Murder Case", after which Basil Rathbone took over the role that same year in "The Bishop Murder Case". After Powell played Vance again in "The Benson Murder Case" (which was also made in a Spanish language version with an entirely different case), he then played him one more time in "The Kennel Murder Case" in 1933, but the character also appeared in ten more movies between 1934 and 1947, with other actors in the lead roles.
