Who's Guilty? (1945) is a Columbia film serial. It was the 28th of the 57 serials released by that studio. Who's Guilty? was a rare attempt at a whodunit mystery film in serial form.

Synopsis

Walter Calvert (Clark) calls upon his brother Henry at his eerie old house and demands a share of the family fortune, and threatening to kill Henry if he doesn't get it. Within days, Henry's car goes over a cliff and he is presumed dead. Bob Stewart, Kent - a detective whom Henry asked to investigate the matter if he should die, begins his investigation and Duke Ellis, a newspaper reporter friend is with him. Bob meets the family at their mansion and questions Henry's sister, his half-brother, his nephew and his nephew's bride, and Ruth Allen (Ward), whose father was in business with Henry. Henry's brother Patton (Middleton) and a shadowy figure known as The Voice, plan to kill all the relatives and divide the fortune. As the murder attempts multiply, Bob, Ruth and Duke endeavor to track down the masterminds and bring them to justice.
