Fast and Loose

As Nicholas Torrent (Ralph Morgan), the owner of a previously missing piece of an extremely rare manuscript, prepares to sell his valuable possession, he turns up dead inside his stately home. Bookseller and occasional sleuth Joel Sloane (Robert Montgomery) and his wife, Garda (Rosalind Russell), investigate the murder. Unfortunately for the Sloanes, the list of suspects is quite long, given the wealthy Torrent's many family members and associates.
