Debbie Reynolds and Glenn Ford play a Broadway star and her television mystery writer husband--who will do anything to protect his wife and her honor. So when a blackmailer threatens to reveal compromising photos of Nell Nash (Reynolds) taken long ago, Elliot Nash (Ford) believes he has no recourse but to kill the blackmailer. But after his victim's body is discovered across town, Nash finds himself deeply entwined in a plot as comically twisted as the best of his mysteries when he tries to discover who really murdered the blackmailer ... and who is buried under The Gazebo.
