　　Evelyn Prentice is the respected wife of a high-profile New York attorney. Despite the prestige and status she enjoys, she feels neglected and out of boredom becomes involved with an unscrupulous womanizing poet, who gives her the attention she craves. She eventually finds herself a victim of blackmail and becomes involved in his murder. When another woman is accused of the crime, she begs her husband to defend her.

　　Nick和Nora 这对搞笑侦探夫妻档总是连手出击调查案件。这回他们要着手的是一位发明家失踪的案子，要找出为何会失踪，且失踪到哪里去了……？　　　　相当成功地将喜剧和悬疑元素交融在一起。William Powell和Myrna Loy 饰演的夫妻档，是影史上第一对塑造成功的屏幕情侣组合！本片导演就是影坛上有『一次OK』之封号的 W.S. Van Dyke，本片他只花了两礼拜就拍摄完毕！由华人黄宗沾担纲摄影指导。本片独有的喜剧悬疑风，也成往后这类型电影的祖师爷。Albert Hackett和Frances Goodrich 根据 Dashiell Hammett 的小说改编成剧本。后来还拍摄了五部续集。
