Synopsis of Christmas Party

Archie Goodwin plans to enjoy a well-deserved day off from his demanding detective duties. However, Nero Wolfe abruptly orders his assistant to cancel all personal plans immediately. The eccentric detective needs Archie to drive him to Long Island for an urgent orchid meeting. Therefore, Archie invents a desperate excuse to protect his valuable free time. He shows Wolfe a fake marriage license and claims he must attend his fiancée’s holiday gathering.

The reluctant assistant arrives at the festive Christmas party in a Manhattan fashion office. Shortly after, a mysterious man dressed as Santa Claus serves drinks to the invited guests. Unfortunately, one of the prominent attendees drinks poisoned liquor and collapses on the floor. As a result, the cheerful celebration instantly turns into a tragic murder scene. Furthermore, the disguised killer escapes quietly before the arrival of the local police.

The situation becomes highly dangerous when suspicion falls directly on Archie’s alleged fiancée. Consequently, Archie must ask Nero Wolfe for immediate professional assistance to solve the case. Subsequently, the detectives investigate the complex financial ties within the fashion company. Wolfe conducts a meticulous examination of all party guests to identify the disguised killer. Ultimately, the detective reveals the truth behind the crime and Archie’s fake engagement.
