Nick and Nora return to their home in San Francisco where the murder victim and suspects are members of Nora's high-society family.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Charleses are sucked into another murder case via Nora's cousin Selma Landis, whose husband Robert has vanished. He has been conducting an affair with nightclub thrush Polly and is also blackmailing gangster Dancer. When the corpses begin piling up, Nick and Nora try to piece the clues together, with the earnest assistance of Jimmy Stewart, who carries a torch for Landis.[1]

The solution in this film is perhaps the most surprising out of all the movies: the character played by James Stewart turns out to be the maniacal murderer. At the end of the film, Nora tells Nick something he hasn't detected yet: that they're going to have a baby.

Spoilers end here.

The film was nominated for an Oscar in 1937 for Best Writing, Screenplay. [2]
