Detective Mark McPherson is investigating the murder of Laura Hunt, who had become one of the biggest names in the advertising business, thanks largely to the help and influence of her mentor, Waldo Lydecker. Mark puts together the pieces that led up to the murder, and questions everyone from Laura's aunt to her fiance, but Mark is slowly falling love with the late Laura, particularly from staring at her portrait.
Line 12:
''Laura'' is a 1943 novel by Vera Caspary. Originally, the story was supposed to be a play, but, after it failed to materialize, it was written into as a book. The novel was adapted into a classic 1944 film starring [[Gene Tierney]], [[Dana Andrews]], [[Clifton Webb]], and [[Vincent Price]]. It was also later adapted into a TV play.

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Sort of. Mark always has his rolling ball maze on hand, causing no amount of annoyance to Waldo while he is being questioned.
* [[Camp Straight]]: Waldo.
Line 20:
* [[If I Can't Have You]]: {{spoiler|Waldo tried to kill Laura for choosing another man over him.}}
* [[It's All About Me]]: Waldo is highly self-centered. His recollections of Laura are all through the filter of how awesome he is.

* [[Loving a Shadow]]: Subverted. It turns out Laura is pretty much what Mark imagined her to be, even if it's not clear if they end up together.
* [[Pimped-Out Cape]]: Laura wears a cape studded with pearls on the shoulder in one scene, and a mink cape in another.
