'A STRANGER introduced himself to Larry Kent, the Private Investigator, with a knock-out blow to the chin. When Kent describes his assailant to Inspector Daniels, he la identified as Sam Cranbrook, sly grogger, forger, night-club operator, and gangster. Kent looks Cranbrook up and re-introduces himself, and is again slugged.
'He discovers that it was not Cranbrook, but that gangster’s double, who had delivered the first knock-out introduction, an unsuccessful radio actor called Tom Andrews. Andrews, because of his twin likeness to Cranbrook, is employed by a rival gangster, Leo Levine, to get the inside news by doubling for Cranbrook and passing the information about the gangster on to the police.
'Kent brings the play to a very exciting conclusion through a gun battle, which has very satisfying results —including Kent getting Cranbrook’s girl in lieu of Levine’s unpaid fee.'
