Nero Wolfe (2001) Season 2 Episode 6

A widow finds a baby on her doorstep with a note saying “A child should live in his father’s house.” Enter Wolfe, whose job is to find out if the dearly departed really sired the orphan. Archie investigates and still finds time to romance the widow. After a few dead ends, Wolfe and Archie redouble their efforts using the baby as mother-bait, but the scheme leads to another death. With his usual impeccable timing, Inspector Cramer comes knocking, and Wolfe and Archie are forced into hiding at their client’s house to buy time to solve the case.
