In The Next Room (1930) is an all-talking mystery film released by First National Pictures, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. and directed by Edward F. Cline. The movie stars Jack Mulhall and Alice Day. The film was based on the play by Eleanor Belmont and Harriet Ford, which itself was derived from the book The Mystery of the Boule Cabinet by Burton E. Stevenson.

Synopsis

The film is preceded by a prologue set in 1889 in which we see an angry husband murdering his wife's lover. The setting of the film then moves to 1929, just as an antiques dealer (John St. Polis) has finished moving into the same house where the 1889 murder had occurred. For years the house had been deserted, it's only occupant being the butler. St. Polis moves in with his daughter (Alice Day) and maid and retains the elderly butler to help take care of the house. One night, the police arrive at the house after receiving a telephone call that a murder has just been committed on the premises. When they arrive, the police are surprised to find that no one in the house knows what they are talking about. It so happens that on that day a valuable antique cabinet has arrived at the house and this has attracted several strangers to come to the house to examine it. A young reporter (Jack Mulhall), who has come to see Alice Day, also arrives at the house. As the police are investigating the mysterious telephone call, however, a series of strange murders occur. As Mulhall is helping Day to open the antique cabinet, they find a hypnotized woman inside. The police are then notified but when everyone returns to the cabinet they find the woman has disappeared. One of the police detectives, Robert Emmett O'Connor, is soon knocked unconscious. St Polis is also hit of the head but stays conscious. The son of the former owner of the cabinet is soon found murdered. As Mulhall attempts to call his newspaper, Day is abducted and taken to the wine cellar. She is rescued by a one-legged man who suddenly disappears and is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, the hypnotized girl appears in a revived state and reveals that her partner, a diamond smuggler, has been murdered with poison. Eventually, Mulhall, assuming the role of an amateur detective, clears up the entire mystery.

Two detectives, played by John Elliot and Harold Goodwin, board a train in pursuit of a gangster, who is played by Neil Hamilton. Hamilton is travelling to New York to work for Edward G. Robinson, a notorious gangster who owns a nightclub. Hamilton jumps off the train near a bridge crossing and since no trace of him can be found the police believe him to be dead. Goodwin assumes Hamilton's identity and joins Robinson's gang but is quickly discovered to be an imposter and shot. Determined to find out who killed her brother, Alice White poses as Hamilton's widow and attempts to get a job at Robinson's nightclub. Hamilton eventually shows up and White is almost exposed as an imposter. Hamilton, however, is eventually persuaded by White and he promises not to tell Robinson the truth. White and Hamilton fall in love. During a hold-up, White protects Hamilton by shooting at a cop in the back. Hamilton begins to think of reforming due to White's influence. White eventually gets Robinson to confess that he shot her brother by pretending to be interested in him. She leaves the phone off the hook while the police listen in on his confession. When the police show up, Robinson realizes what White has done and uses White as a shield against the police but Hamilton manages to save White and Robinson is forced to surrender to the police.

When the film begins we find Alice White stranded several hundred miles away from New York with a burlesque troupe. She receives a telegraph that her boyfriend, played by David Manners, is in jail. White boards a train headed for New York without a ticket because she has no money. When the conductor discovers she has no ticket she is almost thrown off the train. A detective, played by Robert Elliott, befriends White and offers to let White borrow the money she needs for a ticket. When she arrives in New York she finds that Manners has been bailed out by a friend and is working for Kenneth Thomson, playing as a gangster who runs a nightclub. White is disappointed to find that her boyfriend is working for criminals. She gets some money from Manners to pay back Elliott for the money he gave her for a train ticket. Elliott notices that she is paying with bills that have been reported stolen. White confesses everything she knows to the detective about her boyfriend and his new employer. Elliott asks White to get a job at the nightclub so that she can get evidence against the gangsters and in return he promises to clear her boyfriend of any wrongdoing.
