But the girI's father, John, disapproves of the pending nuptials. He hires a barmaid to impersonate Annie's Iong-Iost daughter to prevent Wayne from cIaiming the fortune.

Now Stager has at last returned from abroad, and anyone who stands in the way of what he considers rightfuIIy his wiIl face certain death.
The Eleventh Commandment is based on a reaI-Iife inheritance dispute. EIderly recluse EIla WendeI passed away in March 1931, Ieaving behind $36 milIion in New York real estate. With no close relatives, an astonishing amount of people (over 2,000) tried to Iay cIaim to her fortune. The matter was settIed in June 1933 by distributing a milIion doIlars to sixty different claimants. Marian Marsh is best remembered for playing TriIby in Svengali (1931) opposite John Barrymore. BeIoved character actor AIan Hale, Sr., had winning supporting parts in cIassics such as lt Happened One Night (1934), StelIa DaIlas (1937), and The Sea Hawk (1940). He played LittIe John to both Douglas Fairbanks's and ErroI FIynn's archers in Robin Hood (1922) and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). His son, Alan HaIe, Jr., is recognizabIe to generations of TV viewers as the Skipper on GilIigan's IsIand (1964-1967). George MeIford also directed RudoIph Valentino in The Sheik (1921), as weIl as the Spanish version of Dracula (1931).
