Synopsis

In The Mrs Webb Murder Case, Detective Danny Clover finds himself navigating the dark alleys of marital discord when he is called to investigate the attempted murder of Mrs. Joe Webb. The scene is set on a sultry August night in New York City, where the vibrant yet violent atmosphere of Broadway serves as a stark contrast to the tension brewing within the Webb household. Mrs. Webb recounts her harrowing experience of being smothered in her sleep, claiming that her husband Joe returned just in time to scare off the intruder. However, the truth is far from clear.
