Some newspaper men and women try to find out who killed a curvaceous blonde before the police do. Banner the freelance hack starts to fall for Adrienne Corri, though neither of them seem to have their hearts in it.
Then Banner's ex-fiancee turns up to fill in for his secretary and it turns out she's Hazel Court. Corri tries some arch banter, but Court is much better at it. That is, if you like arch banter, which I don't. In fact, I loathe it. What's worse, all these shenanigans are supposed to be funny.
It was a bad fashion moment, though there have been worse. Most frumpy outfit: Courts tweed coat dress with removable cape when she turns up at the Hastings hotel.
