S.S. Van Dine's master sleuth, Philo Vance (Warren William), faces the toughest case of his career when Gracie Allen (playing herself) helps him try to solve the murder of an escaped convict. As Allen attempts to clear the name of a friend accused of the slaying, her zany ways constantly impede the investigation. (official distributor synopsis)
