Nero Wolfe – The Lost Heir. ep25, 510420

Nero ponders whether he should take the case that may prevent a murder. And he will… After the pressing matter of a game of solitaire is resolved, Nero gives the matter his full attention. The pushy, high power business man needs to learn that Nero won’t be bullied, or impressed. Cryle, a blind tycoon, fears he might be killed, and Nero fears he is right.

Magda Crayle is a piano playing dame who is a missing heiress who recently returned. She has some explaining to do to settle Nero’s mind, as to her motive for returning. Will her schmoozing up to Archie win any points of confidence for Magda? The daughter claims amnesia to explain her spotty memory of where she’s been all these years.

A birth mark would clench the deal to identify Magda as the true long lost heiress, as long as Archie can convince her to expose the normally covered up place. If her story proves out, another heir could have motive to murder before a will is changed. The players, and the police are brought together for a big reveal.
