question:
Matuschek's, a gift store in Budapest, is the workplace of Alfred Kralik (James Stewart) and the newly hi EdKlara Novak (Margaret Sullavan). At work they constantly irritate each other, but this daily aggravation is tempered by the fact that each has a secret pen pal with which they trade long soul-searching letters. Romantic correspondence is sent back and forth, and while Alfred and Klara trade barbs at work, they dream of someday meeting their sensitive, caring and unknown pen pal.Christmas is fast approaching, and the store is busy. Alfred had been with the store for some time, and has always been treated well by Mr. Matuschek (Frank Morgan), but lately his attitude has changed. Alfred is at a loss, and Matuschek avoids any explanation, finally telling Alfred that it would be best if he left. Stunned, Alfred accepts his last paycheck and says goodbye to everyone, including Klara. For once they are civil to each other.A long awaited meeting of the secret pen pals was planned for that night, and Alfred having just lost his job has no desire to go. Finding he can't fight his curiosity, he wanders to the restaurant where they'd agreed to meet and peeks in the window with his fellow employee. Of course, Klara is there waiting for him, with the chosen book and wearing a red carnation they'd agreed to use as a signal. Realizing that he'd been wrong about her all along, and that his irritation with her was actually masking his attraction, he finally enters and goes over to her table, but does not reveal his true reason for being there although he is aware she will be hurt that her pen pal doesn't show up. Alfred, hurt by her rudeness, finally leaves, knowing that she will wait all night for someone who is no longer coming.Meanwhile, back at the store, Mr. Matuschek has a late-night meeting with a private detective. He knows that his wife has been having an affair with one of his employees, and was convinced it was his trusted friend, Alfred. The detective however tells Matuschek it is in fact another employee and, heart-broken over his wife's infidelity he retires to his office. The delivery boy, returning late, enters and prevents Matuschek shooting himself with a pistol. Collapsing in grief and shame, Matuschekis rushed to the hospital.The next day Alfred visits Mr. Matuschek in his sick bed, where he asks for Alfred's forgiveness and puts him back to work, now as manager of the store. The delivery boy is rewarded with a raise to a store clerk. Klara arrives at work late, obviously heartbroken after the failure of her correspondent to materialize last night. When she finds Alfred in the manager's office she doesn't believe him and when she discovers it is true she faints in the middle of his office. Later, as she is resting at home, Alfred pays her a visit, and while he is there her aunt brings her another letter from her secret pen pal that explains his not being at the meeting because he saw her there with Alfred. Relieved about the misunderstanding she swears to Alfred she'll be back at work in the morning. Alfred is obviously working on a plan to reveal himself to Klara.Christmas Eve is here, and everyone works through the day. Mr. Matuschek has nearly recovered from his sickness and stops by to see how things are going, and when the final tally is made, the store has had its best sales day since 1928. Delighted, he hands out bonuses to all, and takes the new stock boy out for Christmas dinner. Alfred and Klara are getting ready to leave, and she has another date with her mystery pen pal, but Alfred delays her with a few questions. She's never yet seen him and doesn't even know his name but is convince end she will be engaged when she comes back to work. He tells her that the mysterious pen pal stopped by to see him earlier, and he is in fact fat, bald, older and unemployed and quite willing to live off Klara's income.Alfred reveals himself when he puts a red carnation in his lapel and suddenly eveything becomes clear to her.

question:
Prominent local figure Archer Coe was found dead, locked inside his bedroom by butler Gamble. His secretary Raymond Wrede called the police.Detective Sergeant Heath was the first to arrive to the crime scene, followed by district attorney Markham and his friend, amateur sleuth Philo Vance.With the helpful hints dropped by Philo, the coroner completed his examination and deduced that Archer Coe did not commit suicide, but was murdered. The following rounds of questioning revealed that Archer Coe was not a popular man and just about everyone around him has a reason to kill him.The main suspects are:Archer's beautiful niece Hilda Lake, whom he obsessed about and kept under his control by abusing his position as the executor of her trust.Hilda's lover Sir Thomas MacDonald, whose prize-winning dog was believed to be maliciously killed by Archer.Archer's mistress Doris Delafield, who lived in an apartment building right next to his mansion, was cheating on him with Eduardo Grassi.Eduardo Grassi, representing an Italian museum, was about to lose the deal with Archer to buy the collection because Archer found out about him and Doris.And lastly, Heath's favourite suspect, Archer's brother Brisbane; with whom Archer had a serious brotherly feud with.After an enthusiastic pursuit after the missing Brisbane, Heath's hope of using his handcuff within the day failed when they found Doris' dog wounded and Brisbane dead, both hidden in Archer's mansion. The team was back where it started.Philo's investigation also brought out surprising new information on Archer's servants. Archer's Chinese cook Liang was really a graduate from Columbia who specialises in antiques; Gamble was a reformed professional gambler; and Wrede hated his boss and was looking for a new job.It turned out that Archer was killed twice. First it was Wrede, who both hit and stabbed him when Archer refused to give his consent for him to propose to Hilda. Thinking that Archer was dead, Wrede hit Doris' dog with the murder weapon, as it has strolled into the house at the wrong time. But Archer was not dead, he just fainted. He woke up, not realising that he was dying, walked up stairs and began to change for bed. Before he could change into his slippers, the internal hemorrhage caught up to him and he died in a sitting position.Brisbane, who had been reading a detective novel, decided to use the plots described in the story to kill his brother. Not realising that Archer's already dead, he staged the suicide and used a trick he learned from the book to bolt the door from the outside.When Brisbane was closing Archer's bedroom window, Wrede saw him through his apartment window and decided to come back and finish the job. Mistaking Brisbane as Archer, he killed him and hid both his and the dog's bodies in the closets.Philo now knew how Archer died and why his death appears to be both murder and suicide, but he had no way of making Wrede confess. He conspired with Markham to release all of the suspects; and with the help of Sir Thomas and Hilda, finally got Wrede to confess to the crime.
answer:
Who is found dead?

question:
Scientist Dr. Russell Marvin (Hugh Marlowe) and his new bride Carol (Joan Taylor) are driving to work when a flying saucer appears overhead. Without proof of the encounter, other than a tape recording of the ship's sound, Dr. Marvin is hesitant to notify his superiors. He is in charge of Project Skyhook, an American space program that has already launched 10 research satellites into orbit. General Hanley (Morris Ankrum), Carol's father, informs Marvin that many of the satellites have since fallen back to Earth. Marvin admits that he has lost contact with all of them and privately suspects alien involvement. The Marvins then witness the 11th falling from the sky shortly after launch.When a saucer lands at Skyhook the next day, soldiers open fire, killing one exposed alien, while others and the saucer itself are being protected by a force field. The aliens then kill everyone at the facility but the Marvins; General Hanley is captured and taken away in the saucer. Now too late, Russell discovers and decodes a message on his tape recording from the aliens: they wanted to meet with Dr. Marvin and had landed in peace at Skyhook for that purpose. Now impatient to conduct that meeting because everything has gone sideways, Marvin contacts the aliens and steals away to meet them, followed closely by Carol and Major Huglin (Donald Curtis). They and a pursuing motorcycle cop are taken aboard a saucer, where they learn that the aliens have extracted knowledge directly from the General's brain; he is now under their control. They claim to be the last of their species and have destroyed all the launched satellites, fearing them as weapons. As proof of their power, the aliens then give Dr. Marvin the coordinates of a naval destroyer that opened fire on them, and which they have since destroyed; the Marvins are then released with the message that the aliens want to meet the world's leaders in 56 days in Washington, D.C., to negotiate an alien occupation.Dr. Marvin's later observations uncover the fact that the aliens' protective suits are made of solidified electricity, and grant them advanced auditory perception. From other observations, Marvin develops a counter-weapon against their flying saucers, which he then later successfully tests against a single saucer. As they escape, the aliens jettison Gen. Hanley and the motor cycle cop; both fall to their deaths. Groups of alien saucers then attack Washington, Paris, London, and Moscow, but are destroyed by Dr. Marvin's sonic weapon. The defenders also discover that the aliens can be easily killed by simple small arms gunfire once they are outside the force fields of their saucers.With the alien threat eliminated, Dr. Marvin and Carol quietly celebrate the victory by going back to their favorite beach, resuming their lives as newlyweds.
answer:
What are the aliens' protective suits made of?
