A murder mystery unfolds among a company of actors during rehearsals in an old Broadway theater. Émigré German director Paul Leni’s last film before his untimely death and one of Universal's last silent releases, The Last Warning shows a virtuoso working at his peak. The bold cinematography enhances the creepiness of the setting and delights in the paranoid machinations of the players.
