A woman rents a gloomy basement apartment in Greenwich Village, thinking it will provide the perfect atmosphere for her mystery writer husband to create his next book. They soon find themselves in the middle of a real-life mystery when a corpse turns up in their apartment.
Bumbling murder-mystery writer Jeff Troy and new wife Nancy move into their basement apartment in Greenwich Village apartment a day before their furniture arrives. Jeff hopes to absorb some local color for his new book. In a local bistro they run into loudly aggressive Louis Kaufman, whom Nancy overhears arranging a rendezvous at their address. This leads to an altercation with Jeff on the bar room floor. Returning home they find that Kaufman has been knocked out by their lucky horseshoe and drowned in the bathtub. Virtually everyone they meet coincidentally lives in or is connected to the building and all appear to be suspects or red herrings in the murder. The only non-suspect is "Old Hickory," a turtle that is a relic from the buildings infamous history as a former speakeasy who walks freely throughout the house. Jeff and Nancy play amateur sleuths in order to gather material for his book and catch a killer in the bargain.
