A young copywriter takes a fatal fall on the job, but not before alerting his boss that something far more dire than bad copy has infiltrated the ad agency. The boss hires detective Death Bredon, Wimsey in disguise, who poses as an adman taking over the dead man's job. As Bredon, Wimsey writes snappy headlines, banters with the typists and carouses with highborn lowlifes in his free time, all the while piecing together a web of nefarious criminals that has ensnared both the wicked and the weak.

Sayers drew on her experiences working in a prominent London ad agency in the 1920s for this insider's view of the ad business. The production is rich in period details and true to Sayer's trenchant wit.
