Four swindle stories, taking place successively in Tokyo - Japan (Les cinq bienfaiteurs de Fumiko), Amsterdam - The Netherlands (La riviere de diamants), Italie (La feuille de route), and Paris - France (L'homme qui vendit la tour Eiffel).
A workman is accidentally sent into outer space, where he meets an alien that can make himself invisible. They return to Earth in the year 2447. Complications ensue.
Society sleuths Nick and Nora Charles investigate a murder aboard a floating casino.
Nick and Nora Charles are attending a charity benefit aboard a gambling ship.
After a murder occurs, suspicion falls on Phil Brant, who had argued with the victim earlier in the evening.
When Phil and his wife seek help from Nick and Nora, Nick refuses to get involved.
But when shots are fired outside his own apartment, Nick begins to investigate, and he soon finds himself in a confusing case with numerous suspects.
Nick and Nora Charles were the ultimate screen couple, husband and wife detectives, always in step and never missing an opportunity to outwit one another as they solved each crime, which they did just in time for the movie's ending.
Myrna Loy was a fantastic Nora, the ideal wife and considering she made 14 movies with William Powell, she made it look like they were really married.
The Thin Man movies, all six of them, played more like sophisticated screwball comedies than murder mysteries, and their comic banter enhanced the proceedings.
Their little wire-haired terrier, Asta, quite often stole the scene as he helped sleuth out the guilty party.
He was a great little actor and rumor had it that away from the Thin Man movies, Asta was really Skippy.
However, the six Thin Man movies credit this cute pooch as "Asta."
Nick and Nora's hopes for a pleasant afternoon at the local race track are dashed when a jockey is found shot dead in the locker room. Nick's friend Lt. Abrams wants him to help out but Nick is enjoying the good life too much to get involved. However, he is subsequently approached by Major Scully to look into corruption and the role of organized crime in gambling. Others are killed but in the end, Nick gathers all of the suspects into a room and identifies the killer.
