It’s a moral dilemma: Bernie knows who killed Arthur Pleasant but how can he get the police to figure it out for themselves when they have Bernie I.D’d as a prime suspect? Sally stands by her scruples when Bernie suggests planting evidence.
Bernie wins at the track, then discovers that he is being tailed by a tax investigator whose list of prospects include all Bernie’s friends. Attempting to escape an audit, the group discovers the tax man’s secret and must turn the tables on him.
Things get very crazy when Bernie sends Sally to deliver a summons and she comes back with a baby. Pursued by both the child’s young father and a welfare worker, Bernie and Sally try to put things back in order.
Each of our heroes have clients with something in common. The second Mrs. Hardy wants Bernie to find her dog; the first Mrs. Hardy wants Sally to find her husband who was buried a year ago. It is, indeed, a very delicate case.
