Elderly Juliet Mitchell suffers shock upon discovering her nephew's lifeless body. It is not clear if the young man, Herbert Wynn, was killed by accident while cleaning his gun or if he committed suicide or was murdered. Miss Adams (Joan Blondell) is called in to serve as nurse for the bedridden Mitchell. Police Inspector Patten (George Brent) thinks Wynn may have been murdered, so he privately asks Miss Adams to watch the household and report back to him. She is hesitant about accepting the job, but the handsome detective persuades her to help and nicknames her "Miss Pinkerton." The odd behavior of Mitchell and her household staff, her doctor, her lawyer, and the late Wynn's girlfriend give Miss Adams plenty to report.
