I actually enjoyed "Girl in the Case" from 1944 and thought it would have made a good series.
Edmund Lowe plays a lock expert who is often called upon to help the police His wife (Janis Carter) , at times becomes involved and usually doesn't help much.
In this situation, someone asks him to open a trunk; inside, he finds some chemical formulations. Suspecting he's working with someone nefarious, he copies them and sends the formulas to Washington.
There is some witty dialogue between the couple - I think they're kind of cute, thanks to the performances - and some slapstick which is quite funny in the end.
It's not Citizen Kane, it's not the Thin Man, but it's pleasant enough.
