Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Nero Wolfe (Maury Chaykin), is an eccentric orchid loving brilliant detective with a taste for fine cuisine. He and his assistant: Archie Goodwin (Timothy Hutton), live in luxury in a brownstone in 1950's New York. Nero Wolfe solves extremely difficult crimes while rarely leaving his mansion, relying on the footwork of Goodwin to gather his evidence. Wolfe's rates are expensive, but his well-heeled clients are very eager to pay. The episodes are done in repertory, with an ensemble of actors each playing different characters in any particular episode. Written by Unknownian |
