Wednesday, Dec. 28 - Who Was Maddox?

The Edgar Wallace Mystery Theatre (1960–1965): Who Was Maddox? (1964)

A publisher is nearly framed for murder, but he appears to have been goaded by the blackmailer who has also blackmailed the publisher's wife.

The movie opens with a jewelry theft from the home of a well-off executive (Jack Watling) and his wife, a former model (Suzanne Lloyd). Although the burglary is interrupted by their return home, Lloyd hides the jewels that the thief missed and later takes them to a gossip journalist and blackmailer named Maddox (Richard Gale). This doesn't resolve the mystery of who Maddox is because there is later a phone call in which the caller, not Maddox, uses that name.

Not to mention the murder...
