This thriller is an early sound film directed by Alfred Hitchcock. In fact, there is no sync sound for the first ten minutes or so.
It starts off with a man entering an abandoned house in which he sees shadows. He ends up running into a tramp named Ben (Leon M. Lion) after they both unexpectedly discover a dead body on the landing of the stairs. Soon other people show up (including a woman falling from the ceiling), all seemingly connected to a diamond necklace. When the necklace itself appears, it changes hands many times as the crooks make their escape on a train. But fear not, our hero is in hot pursuit after he hijacks a bus full of people. I'm still a little confused as to who everyone was.
