Film Synopsis
The Strange Case of Doctor Rx (1942) chronicles a reluctant private detective drawn into the search for an elusive killer who targets criminals acquitted by the courts. As baffling clues, suspicious suspects, and bizarre scientific schemes complicate the investigation, he finds himself entangled in a web of deception that places both his career and his life at risk.
