Based on the 1928 novel by Harry Stephen Keeler, the 1934 mystery film Sing Sing Nights follows a bizarre "Poverty Row" premise. Three death row inmates all confess to the murder of a globetrotting womanizer, Floyd Cooper. A criminologist uses a lie detector to determine which man fired the single fatal shot. The IMDb entry for Sing Sing Nights notes its reliance on flashbacks and convoluted logic, typical of Keeler’s "webwork" style of plotting.
