Appel Philo Vance

Feb 03, 1940
Philo est à Vienne travaillant pour le gouvernement des États-Unis pour voir si Archer Coe vend des dessins d'avions à des puissances étrangères. Il saisit les plans avec la signature Archer, mais est capturé par la police avant qu'il ne puisse échapper. Déporté, il revient à l'Amérique et des plans pour faire face à Archer, mais Archer est retrouvé mort dans sa chambre fermée à clé avec un fusil à la main. Bien qu'il ressemble à un suicide, Vance sait mieux et le coroner estime que Archer a été tué, frappé avec un objet contondant et poignardée - qui fait du suicide improbable. Mais Vance est sur l'affaire et cherche à voir si les secrets du gouvernement ont été vendus et qui a assassiné Coe. Ceci est un remake de « The Assassiner Kennel Case » à l'aide des dessins d'avions et d'espionnage au lieu de la porcelaine chinoise et des spectacles de chiens.
