Professors compiling an encyclopedia realize that don't know any current slang; trolling nightclubs, Prof. Potts finds Katherine "Sugarpuss" O'Shea, who certainly does know slang but she also has mob connections. O'Shea uses this lexicographic opportunity to hide and dodge a subpoena. Received Oscar nominations for Best Actress, Best Original Story, Best Sound recording and Best Dramatic Score.
