Synopsis by Hal Erickson

John Stuart stars as the Elder Brother of irresponsible socialite Basil Langton. Langton carries on an affair with a married woman (Stella Bonheur) who turns up murdered. Suspecting his brother is the guilty party, Stuart confesses to the crime. No British murder mystery could get by with only two suspects, so keep an eye out for plot twists and surprises. Elder Brother was adapted from a novel by Anthony Gibbs.
