Hildegarde Withers (Edna May Oliver) is scared to be traveling on a seaplane. One of the passengers end up dead. Hildegarde is certain that it's a murder, but the incompetent local police on Catalina is unconvinced. She recruits Inspector Oscar Piper (James Gleason) for help.
It's the third of the Hildgarde mystery series and the last time Edna May Oliver plays the role. She does have some fun early on the plane but it's not as good as the previous two movies. Pulling in Piper feels manufactured. I wouldn't mind if Hildegarde solves the case by herself. On a minor complaint, Willie has not aged well. The whole Sleep 'n' Eat comedic gimmick looks terrible in the modern world. This is the least of the series up to this point.
