A& E proudly presents THE GOLDEN SPIDERS, an intriguing and clever mystery adaptation based on Rex Stout’s "Nero Wolfe" classic. One of the best- known, best-loved characters of the mystery genre-and the hero of seventy-two novels written by Mr. Stout between 1934 and 1975—Nero Wolfe, is the eccentric, ingenious detective who always solves the crime. In this first episode to be adapted from the "Nero Wolfe" canon, Nero relentlessly pursues a ruthless murderer on a serial path. His only lead? A reckless car. Famous for keeping his cool, Nero leaves the legwork to his hard- working and bemused assistant, Archie Goodwin. But when Archie and the police are totally stumped, Nero swoops in to solve the endless string of mysteries. Eventually the sleuthing duo zero in on a mysterious woman with golden spider earrings—and a riveting trail of clues. Starring Maury Chaykin ("Entrapment") as the unflappable Nero Wolfe and Oscar-winner, Timothy Hutton ("Ordinary People") as his assistant, Archie Goodwin, THE GOLDEN SPIDERS features a series of mysterious murders, a fascinating gallery of suspects, and a crafty summation by Wolfe that once again pins the murderer to the crime.
