Story Synopsis:
      Nero Wolfe accepts a job that lands Archie Goodwin in the midst of 500 young women and a double murder. Archie manages to wheedle information from a bevy of lovelies, including one who insists that she doesn't know how to talk to a man until after they kiss. He also slugs it out with an irate husband as he prepares to usher the wife into Wolfe's home. The murderer suicides by jumping from a 36th floor window.
