Z Nicka a Audrey Spitzových sú súkromné očká na plný úväzok. Po ich priateľovi sa zľahne zem a oni sa pripletú k medzinárodnému pátraniu po jeho únoscovi.

Conniving Broadway starlet Mida King has plenty of enemies, so when she's found murdered at Grand Central Station, Inspector Gunther calls together a slew of suspects for questioning.
