Strange Affair

A renowned doctor, Dr. Brenner, is hosting a banquet for war refugees when he receives a frantic call from his friend Baumler, who believes his life is in danger. Dr. Brenner, preoccupied with his work, passes on the responsibility to his friends Bill, a comic strip creator, and his wife Jack, to meet with Baumler. That night, Baumler seemingly dies of a heart attack at the banquet. Bill becomes suspicious of foul play, thinking Baumler was poisoned, while Jack believes her husband's interest in the case is driven by a romantic fascination with a woman involved. As Bill follows the clues, Jack secretly keeps tabs on her husband's investigation.
