Part 1
Conan has to deal with some stiff competition when Heiji Hattori, heralded as the "Great Detective of the West", comes looking for Shinichi Kudo to prove which of them is the best detective. He shows up all of a sudden in the Mouri Agency (since he suspects Shinichi has a hand on Kogoro's recent success and Sonoko told him where it was located), bringing a nice Osakan liquor as a gift to Kogoro (so he'll let him stay overnight), and delivers the challenge, which will take place regarding the request coming from a rich woman: to make a background check on her future daughter-in-law, a young woman who's simply too good to be true so she could actually be a bitch in sheep's clothing or a gold digger in disguise.
However, before Conan can save his reputation, he must first save himself, as a mysterious sickness threatens to close his file for good, and then check on his surroundings, as the husband of their client appears dead right after the group arrives to his big and fancy house!

Part 2
Heiji Hattori believes that the murder of the diplomat Isao Tsujimura is a locked room one, and he's also sure of who the killer is. But almost at the same time, Conan collapses due to his illness, and then Shinichi Kudo returns to the surprise of everyone, especially himself. As Shinichi tries to expose the real secret behind the perfectly sealed room, the rivalry between he and Heiji Hattori heats up. Deceit and treachery are revealed, as Isao Tsujimura's killer is finally unmasked and their reasons to commit the crime are explained.

Anime
- In the English Dub, after the accusation of spying on Ran, Shinichi states that he's a detective and that's what he does, whereas in the Japanese version he states that he can tell how Ran is doing by hearing her voice.
- In the English Dub, Heiji drops subtle hints that the two men who poisoned him were Gin and Vodka, whereas in the Japanese version he merely acknowledges Shinichi as a worthy rival. The dub change presumably was made to fix a story problem for the upcoming Game Company Murder Case (see that page's continuity error).
- In the English Dub, Heiji also, in the same lines about Gin and Vodka, alludes to the fact that he already knows that Shinichi is Conan, despite the fact that he doesn't deduce this until his next appearance in Holmes Freak Murder Case.
- The names of the characters in the Funimation Dub are:
- Kimie Tsujimura - Camiel Tarrington
- Fumio Koike - Franklin Keene
- Toshimitsu Tsujimura - Theodore Tarrington
- Isao Tsujimura - Rudy Tarrington
- Takayoshi Tsujimura - Thomas Tarrington
- Yukiko Katsuragi - Jasmine Kassleschultz
- Kenji Yamashiro - Mori Yasmeen
- This was the final episode aired by Adult Swim.
Trivia
- This is the first episode in which two suspects are affected from GSA, the other being Wedding Eve.
- The first mention of Shinichi Kudo, detective of the East and Heiji Hattori, detective of the West.
- Hattori is too competitive to notice the similarities between Conan and Kudo in this case.
- The first case that Megure displayed tiredness that Kogoro Mouri is at another murder case.
- The first time that Conan becomes Shinichi Kudo, even if only for a few minutes due to his drinking the cup of Paikaru.
- Conan tells Ran, "We're not to tell anyone... that Shinichi-niichan... was involved in the case...," just before he collapsed again, and lost consciousness, continuing the new trend of having the police withhold his involvement in cases.
- Conan was unconscious for three days before he was awoke.
- The first time that Fishing Line may have been used in a trick, although the fishing line was a red herring, and there were 5 or so threads of it scattered throughout the house.
- This is the first time that Conan had a cold, which was still evident, even after be became Shinichi.
- Conan showed signs of being slightly drunk, after drinking that cup, however, he is in a 7 year old body, and had a cold that time. The drunken appearance may have been to let us know that Hattori gave him alcohol.
- This is the first episode that Conan and Hattori have their first head-on-collision, while looking for evidence, shortly after the body dropped to the floor.
- By observing Kogoro's behavior and lack of deductive reasoning skills, he clearly saw that "Kogoro" has not been solving his recent cases. Which means they were clearly solved by his rival, Shinichi Kudo.
