Ran, Sonoko, and Conan attend a dance party hosted by Takada Kensaku, a real estate manager, and his wife Konomi. During the party, tensions arise when Kensaku publicly berates his housemaid Rika in front of the guests. Shortly afterward, Kensaku is found dead in the garden. The investigators initially assume it was an accident, but Conan quickly realizes it was murder. The evidence suggests a struggle, but Kensaku's neat clothing doesn't fit this theory.

Conan and the investigators discover that the footprints in the garden belong to dance shoes owned by Yoshioka Satoru, a business partner of the victim. Yoshioka becomes a suspect since he owed money to Kensaku and has no alibi. However, Conan and Sonoko uncover that Yoshioka is merely a decoy. The real culprit is Kensaku's wife Konomi, who killed her husband to escape her unhappy marriage. She used dance steps to lead Kensaku to the edge of the garden and push him to his death, while wearing Yoshioka's shoes to frame him.

Konomi finally confesses that she felt like a "trophy wife" and saw no other way to free herself from her tyrannical husband. The episode ends with a humorous scene where Sonoko and Ran spontaneously start dancing despite the tragic incident.
