SYNOPSIS
Bennett is a manicurist and Grant a detective in this comedy-mystery. Sparks fly between the two, but he is a bit wary of becoming involved with her. She ditches fingernails for sleuthing and is soon hot on the trail of a child murderer. The ensuing trial is a miscarriage of justice as the murder uses bribery and trickery to get himself acquitted. Frustrated Grant quits and Bennett is fired. The pair next set their sights on investigating a jewel heist.
