In this whodunit, Asther, a famous refugee novelist, finds it difficult to adjust to ordinary work. He becomes jealous of his wife, Randolph, who tries to take up the financial slack by becoming a taxi driver. She picks up Loder, and they become friends. When Asther is found murdered, Loder is naturally accused and must prove his innocence. (official distributor synopsis)
