Our film follows a young woman named Vicki Virtue, an inexperienced private investigator who is certain she can handle the Norwood investigation on her own, without her father’s help. When he shows up, and refuses to leave, she finds his experience is as helpful to her as her self-restraint is to him. Together they handle a greedy widow, a mad scientist, a snooty butler and… did we mention a vicious murder?
