Detectives Briscoe and Curtis investigate the murder of Richard Spiegel, CFO of a major New York City department store. The company was run by Spiegel's wife Kate and her sister Laura after their father Seymour Bergreen retired. The investigation leads them to designer Paul Medici, who it turns out was having an affair with Kate. He has a solid alibi for the time of the killing, however. The detectives subsequently learn that the victim had consulted a criminal attorney and that Laura Bergreen may have been using employee pension funds to pay off the store's debts. When the detectives locate the murder weapon, they find that the gun was owned by Kate and had Laura's fingerprints on the barrel. Both sisters are arrested, but no evidence exists of a conspiracy and little specific information to point the finger at one or the other.
