When painter Rina Casselas’ studio is found blood stained, her husband Teddy and his mistress Marion are prime suspects for her apparent murder. Marion hires the Remington Steele Agency to uncover the truth. And unbeknownst to them Teddy hires down-and-out PI, Leo Blitzman.

Laura soon discovers that Rina was going blind so she just staged her own death to drive up the price of her paintings before her talent waned.

But when Rina is actually found dead, as well as her art dealer Nicholas Spriggs, an intricate plot gets untangled.

It was Leo Blitzman who wanted to make a quick buck by selling her paintings.
