Desc: Easy Pickings: Directed by George Archainbaud. With Anna Q. Nilsson, Kenneth Harlan, Philo McCullough, Billy Bevan. Simeon Van Horne is poisoned by Stewart, his lawyer, who hopes to get a part of the estate to be divided between young Peter Van Horne and Dolores, Peter's cousin. Knowing that Dolores is dead, Stewart, who catches Mary Ryan burglarizing the Van Horne home, induces her to pose as Dolores. Mary's companion, Tony, is pulled into a secret passage; Van Horne's body disappears; Remus, the colored servant, sees a black-hooded figure; the lights go off and on; and a detective is the object of many hoaxes perpetrated by the mysterious figure. When the figure (played alternately by Tony and Dr. Naylor) discloses the features of Van Horne, he frightens a confession from Stewart, then discloses himself as Peter's "chauffeur." Peter discovers that Mary deserves a part of the fortune and convinces her of his love.
