      The Muddy Murder Case began with the shooting of Johnny Williams, racketeer. Although his house was completely surrounded by mud and Williams was killed at close range, there were no footprints in the mud and nobody but Williams' housekeeper was in his home. Philo Vance and DA Markham suspect a racketeer named Foster, especially since they think he killed another former ally.

As Philo Vance and District Attorney Markam were looking through the apartment of John Green who had been murdered the day before, Markham was shot. Both of their suspects, Mrs Green and a man named Edward Lee, have alibis for around eleven o’clock, the time they believe the murder of John Green was committed.
