The Man in the Queue

A dead man with stab wounds, a gun (but very few personal belongings otherwise), and no identification is found in the midst of a long theater line just before the box-office opens for a popular play. We follow the somewhat famous Inspector Grant as he works his way through this convoluted case, as he tries to identify first the murdered man, and then his killer, all the while dealing with huge publicity and political maneuvering in the police force.
