AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Charles Draper, private detective and gambler, is infuriated by the efforts of wealthy Laura Lee—who obviously carried a torch for him—to become a private detective herself. A bookmaker is murdered, and Draper is horrified to find the suspected murderer in Laura's office. Briskly moving through metropolitan New York, Draper, in a race against death, brings about a dramatic climax in his own office, putting Laura Lee in her place.'
