Plot Overview

An elevator crash is the cover-up for the murder of the hated co-owner of a leading couturier. Amos tries to sew up a suspect from a list of his enemies, including the man's wife, who was upset with his chasing of models; the company's co-owner, who stood to gain the entire company; the firm's head designer and her daughter, a model; and the owner of a 'knockoff' company, who was making cheap copies of Glory Lee's dresses using stolen patterns.

Memorable Moments

Amos and Les go to visit Mortimer Lovely, played by silent film legend Buster Keaton in one of his last appearances. Lovely is suffering from laryngitis, but manages to answer all of their questions by playing charades!

And how about the good Captain getting busted while going undercover at Joan Blondell's floating card game?

Quotes
