Answer: William Powell and Myrna Loy

William Powell and Myrna Loy starred in 14 movies together and had an incredible chemistry that produced several of the most delightful moments in film history.
2. Nick and Nora head to the race track for a day of horse racing. (Nick plans on seven winners.) When they arrive, they meet up with their friend, Inspector Abrams, who informs them that a murder has been committed. Goldez, a jockey busted for fixing a horse race, has been killed. How has he been killed?

Answer: Shot in the eye

Goldez is found dead in the shower in the jockey's lounge. A bullet penetrated his eye and went up into his brain.
3. "Whitey" Barrow and Paul Clark have a feud going and both are on the scene of the jockey's death. What profession are both Barrow and Clark?

Answer: Newspapermen

Both men work for newspapers. Whitey got his nickname from working with crooked gangsters and "whitewashing" them in the papers. Paul Clark is our classic good guy character and the two are enemies. Whitey wants to cover up for the gangsters and Paul wants to expose them.
4. The race track is "fun location number one." Now Nick and Nora head to "fun location number two," a pro wrestling arena to see the matches. There they meet a quartet of Whitey's gangster buddies: Fred Macy, "Link" Stephens, Claire Porter and "Rainbow" Benny. Whitey and Claire are lovers but Claire owes him money. What does Whitey take from Claire to settle her debt?

Answer: A diamond bracelet

Claire is the girl on Link Stephens's arm and he buys her expensive gifts. Whitey takes her diamond bracelet, worth around $5000, to settle the debt.
5. Whitey Barrow is shot to death at the wrestling arena. Who is suspected?

Answer: Paul Clark

Paul Clark breaks into Link Stephens's office at the wrestling arena to get proof on the gangsters. Whitey finds him there, the two fight and Paul Clark is knocked out. Someone else shoots Whitey and Paul gets the blame when the police show up.
6. The gangsters are involved with fixing horse races. What clever way do they use to disguise their activities?

Answer: Coded laundry list

When Paul Clark breaks into Link Stephens's office, a laundry list falls out of the gangster's record book. The items on the laundry list are codes for the gangster's out of town bets. (Example: On the laundry list, there are 25 kimonos listed. Nick deduces that the K in Kimono stands for Kansas City and the 25 is 25-1 odds on a race there.)
7. Nick investigates the shower at the race track where the jockey was killed and learns the truth about the jockey's death. How did Goldez die?

Answer: Shot himself by accident

The jockey carried a gun into the shower with the intent to kill himself but chickened out. When he tried to hide the gun in the shower's drain, the gun went off accidentally and Goldez was shot in the head.
8. Our final "fun location" is a restaurant called Mario's Grotto. There, Paul, Nick, Nora and Paul's girlfriend, Molly, are induced repeatedly by their waiter to order what dish?

Answer: Sea Bass

The special is sea bass and their waiter pushes constantly to get our foursome to order just that. Molly acquiesces, Nora is talked out of ordering shad roe, Paul is talked out of ordering cracked crab and Nick is tricked into sea bass instead of broiled lobster.
9. The Special Deputy for the State Legislature, Major Scully, who is working with Paul Clark to bust the gangsters, shows up at Mario's Grotto. The Major has learned that Rainbow does the legwork for his gangster buddies so the Major, Paul and Nick decide to pay Rainbow a visit. When they get to his apartment, Rainbow is dead as a doornail. How has he been killed?

Answer: Hanged

When Nick, Paul and the Major find Rainbow, he is strung up high in his apartment, the victim of an apparent suicide. The implication is that Rainbow knew Nick and company were on his trail so he killed himself. Nick is sure that it's murder.
10. Who has murdered Whitey Barrow and Rainbow Benny?

Answer: Major Scully

Major Scully has been in with the gangsters all along and has been using his position as Special Deputy for the State Legislature to cover up his activities. The Major killed Barrow when he was threatening to expose the gang's activities. The Major killed Rainbow in an attempt to frame him for Barrow's murder.
