'In "Dinner-suit Dan," a young man from the bush joins the police in order to enable him to continue his studies in his leisure at the University, and having been attached to the detective branch of the force, he Is immediately involved In a sensational jewellery robbery and murder, as a detective. His sweetheart becomes involved, also, and together they have an experience that is packed with thrills.
'This Is a detective story with a difference, as the real sleuths of a real force are the heroes, and the way they go about their work is as exciting as any story of the super men from outside who are the central figures in many Scotland Yard tales.'
