The advertising is cutthroat business. Soft drinks are cutthroat business. You can only imagine what the advertising for soft drinks looks like. It is surely is not for mild-mannered people. A co-founder of a small advertising company approached Archie Goodwin in a party thrown by Lily Rowan asking him to persuade his boss to look into a problem. It seems somebody from his company leaked their creative ideas related to soft drinks to a rival advertisers that worked for a rival soft drinks company.

The fans of the original series know Nero Wolfe tries to avoid such cases like black plague mostly specializing in murders. This time however for the sake of the plot Archie managed to make him agree (and quite painlessly too). Luckily the murder soon followed so the greatest and the laziest NYC sleuth was soon on familiar grounds.
