''The Crime Doctor's Strangest Case'' is a 1943 American mystery film directed by Eugene Forde and starring Creator/WarnerBaxter, Lynn Merrick and Gloria Dickson. It is the second in a series of Crime Doctor films made by Creator/ColumbiaPictures.
Psychiatrist Robert Ordway (Baxter) comes to the aid of former client Jimmy Trotter (Creator/LloydBridges), whose new employer, Walter Burns, is found poisoned. Having cleared Jimmy of a similar charge earlier, Ordway investigates. When the Burns family cook is revealed as an impostor, Ordway hypnotizes the housekeeper to unearth a complex web of family and business connections, revolving around the disappearance 30 years earlier of Burns' partner, and the theft of $50,000.
!!''The Crime Doctor's Strangest Case'' contains examples of:
* FatSuit: Evelyn Cartwright wears a very convincing one when she is undercover as the cook Mrs. Keppler.
* FreshClue: When searching the abandoned nightclub, Dr. Ordway discovers that someone was there no more than 15 minutes before him because an oil lantern is still warm.
* ItWorksBetterWithBullets: During Dr. Ordway's final confrontation with the killer, the killer attempts to shoot him only to discover that his gun has been unloaded.
* PyroManiac: Mallory Cartwright admits to being 'careless with matches' and has a habit of setting fire to things; including, at the end of the movie, a police car.
* TapOnTheHead: The killer raps Dr. Ordway over the head with a chain, knocking him out and causing him tp drop his lantern. This, in turn, sets fire to the nightclub.
