The MacNeills again are too much for a slick killer in a slow town when an allegedly fine family finds a near corpse in their front yard, and by offering help put themselves collectively under suspicion of murder. Escaping from their children, the MacNeills make hurried trips to New York, mix in with a group of blackmailers, and along with some choice gossip manage to wrap it up with additional damage only to the killer. Contrived, clever.
