It is 1939. Everyone expects the United States to join the war raging in Europe. And everyone is looking under the bed for spies. Soon the questions surrounding the death of Eric Olmstead take on an odor of espionage.
The police call Olmstead's death a suicide. After all, he did leave a (typed) note. His widow refuses to believe that her husband shot himself and persuades Groucho and Frank to look further. Soon the pair is enmeshed in dealings with FBI agents and the Los Angeles police, while the grieving widow clamors for revenge. Here is where Groucho proves his genius as a detective - he seizes on the clue that reveals the death to be murder.
This, however, is only the beginning. There is another murder. Groucho and Frank are attacked: Frank is shot at (but not hit); Groucho is hit (but not shot at; just knocked to the floor by the fleeing assailant). They not only survive, they pinpoint the Nazi spy and the Hollywood figures working with him.
