Arthur Cole is a dying man who wants to make sure his daughter Angela is provided for after his death.
The Deadly Proposition involves his boss's wife. Amoury Kinett living in his ivory tower wants rid of her. Arthur Cole will do the deed.
Only after the event, Arthur hires Peter Gunn to look into the death that he himself committed.
Gunn finds that all roads lead back to Arthur Cole. He dies while being interrogated by Jacoby.
Somehow Arthur Cole wanted to finger the real suspect from beyond the grave.
The story does lack suspense and is contrived. It does have a good scene between Gunn and Kinett. The ultra rich Kinett lives high above his office looking down on the little people, thinking the law cannot touch him. A megalomaniac for sure.
