The story

Celia, an unemployed actress, is reluctantly persuaded by private detective Larry Peters to once again help him with a case. She has a flair for undertaking character rôles but mainly agrees so she can buy a fashionable hat with the fee Larry offers to pay her. Celia poses as a cockney maid for a week in a large house where Lester Martin is suspected of marrying Aunt Nora, a much older woman, for her money and plans to kill her with poison.
