McFay, the former business partner of Noras father, and the administrator of her fortune, desperately wants Nick to put his wellknown detective skills to work, as he has been receiving threats from Phil Church Sheldon Leonard, a very shady character. When MacFay is killed, Church seems to be the obvious suspect. However, Nick is skeptical. He suspects there is something far more complicated going on. MacFays housekeeper, his adopted daughter, and various hangerson all may have had an interest in seeking the old mans demise.According to Frank S. Nugent, this third of the trademarked Thin Men takes its murders as jauntily as ever, confirms our impression that matrimony need not be too serious a business and provides as light an entertainment as any holidayamusement seeker is likely to find. ........
