What it’s about.

They may have been invisible but their accents and billing names von Morhart, William Vaughn (William von Brincken already hiding under another name before hostilities were formally declared), Frederick Gierman and Walter Bonn---provide clues aplenty as to their country of origin and paymaster.

Who’s in it. The Deadly Game stars Charles Farrell as Barry Scott, June Lang as Christine Reisner, John Miljan as Henri Franck and J. Arthur Young as Dr. Reisner, among others.
