Powell is a debonair lawyer suspected in the murder of a nosy newspaper columnist. Aided by classy, sassy, marriage-minded Rogers, he untangles the Manhattan maze of double-crosses, disguises and misdirections without disarranging his dinner jacket - or bruising his gin. Martinis all around if you solve the mystery first! (official distributor synopsis)
