Marine Lt. Pat Abbott is currently stateside, posted in New Orleans, where the French Quarter is packed with wartime crowds seeking a bit of entertainment. But when Jean finds a body at the home of the prominent old Creole family with whom the couple is staying, Pat must return to his civilian role of private investigator as the pair become entangled with an assortment of aristocrats and quirky characters . . .
