A breezy 1930s romantic comedy-mystery where a quick-witted manicurist and her detective boyfriend team up to solve crimes, driven by snappy dialogue and affectionate banter.

Sassy manicurist Eve Fallon is recruited as an even more brassy reporter and she helps police detective boyfriend Danny Barr break a jewel theft ring and solve the murder of a baby.
