Nero Wolfe

The original movie adaptation that started it all! Interrupted at dinner by a street kid with a strange story, Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin find themselves drawn into a strange case when their young informant is found murdered. The victim’s mother soon appears with his life savings totaling $4.30, Wolfe’s fee for taking the case! Archie’s fancy legwork brings Wolfe to a mysterious woman with golden spider earrings. And when everyone else investigating the matter hits a dead end, only the inimitable Wolfe can get to the bottom of the crime.

Eccentric millionaire Rachel Bruner arrives at Wolfe’s doorstep with an extraordinary offer, a disturbing story of harassment, and an FBI tail. Only after Wolfe takes the case does the murder come to light. As the story unfolds however, it becomes clear that the Bureau is not guilty – in this case, anyway – and their reluctant cooperation is essential to capturing a killer.

Archie is standing in for a friend at a part for unwed mothers when one of the guests drops dead. Though she had often talked about killing herself and was known to carry cyanide, Archie does not believe her death was suicide. A little digging uncovered the connection that proves his hunch, and Nero helps bring the killer to justice.
