With Archie at his side and Inspector Cramer on his tail, Wolfe's investigation uncovers a complicated blackmail scheme.

Die Like a Dog
Archie stumbles onto a murder scene while trying to retrieve his raincoat. Not wanting to get involved, he leaves the scene only to discover a black Labrador retriever following him. Wolfe, surprisingly, is taken by the animal and christens him Jet. When Cramer shows up in search of the pet, wolfe gets Archie involved in the investigation in order to keep the dog.
Murder Is Corny
Inspector Cramer arrives with Wolfe's specially-picked corn, fresh from the murder scene of the delivery boy. Archie is the prime suspect in light of his infatuation with a "sweet" young farm girl turned fashion model. Once Wolfe realizes the inconvenience of Archie's potential incarceration, he joins the case, and the two eventually flush out the criminal -- but not before some deadly corn pops in their faces.
