Description

Heiress Melsa Manton and her manicured band of Park Avenue pranksters think Manhattan is their personal amusement park. When Melsa stumbles across a murder victim, the pranksters decide to play detective. The only trouble is the murderer is playing too -- for keeps. Barbara Stanwyck stars as Ms. Manton, Henry Fonda as a Gotham reporter who falls headlines-over-heels. They're destined for romance, with a few detours: a missing body, a safecracker, and a charity ball rife with motives and mystery.
