Episodes
1. La traccia del serpente
As soon as he arrives in Rome with his faithful assistant Archie Goodwin, the famous American investigator, Nero Wolfe, is contacted by his first client: a woman asks to find a boarder in the hotel where she works, disappeared for days
2. Champagne per uno
Recruited as a chaperone at a reception for mothers-girls, Archie Goodwin assists helplessly with the death of one of the two young escorts, Lucia, poisoned with arsenic. The police are sure it is suicide, but Archie is convinced of the opposite, and initially Nero Wolfe suspects the victim's ex-boyfriend, who had been abandoned to the news of the pregnancy and later lost the child.
3. La principessa Orchidea
Yu Lan, a young peddler vendor, describes to Nero Wolfe a woman kidnapped in a car: she had a pin with letters C and S and a faith. Without taking it too seriously, the investigator invites Archie Goodwin to deepen, but before the assistant can do it Yu is hit by the same car of the kidnapping and ends up in a coma.
