The Devil's Mask (1946)

Columbia Pictures
Directed by  Henry Levin
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Fun, but unfocused, mystery programmer with shrunken heads, a weird taxidermist, a psychiatrist who uses hypnotism, a pet panther, poisoned blow guns and a missing big game hunter. The ex-wife of the hunter suspects she is being followed and hires a couple of wisecracking detectives. Meanwhile the hunter's daughter is also being followed, and a poisoned blow dart meant for her kills her butler instead. The police, the private dicks and her boyfriend all try to find the killer, whose identity is rather obvious.
