Scared Stiff

Looking through a collection of vintage films, I came across "Sacred Stiff", a movie that has some connection with chess. The main character (played by Jack Haley) is a somewhat absent-minded chess columnist, who ends up involved with gangsters, murder, and a stolen jade chess set. The only review of the movie I have read was not that positive,describing the lead character as 'awful' and his behaviour as 'completely unbelievable'. But it does check in at a relativity short 64 minutes, so you won't be wasting too much of your life if you watch this.
Full versions of this film seem to exist on youtube, or you can find it via various 'free movie' apps for Android or the Ipad.
