Marc Spewack, a New
York private eye, is hired by an ageing industrialist, Wolf, in downtown
Cranville, to trace three missing girls of the town. All three were blondes
and their mysterious disappearances had become an election issue: Wolf, an
undertaker named Esslinger and a gangster called Starkey, have set their sights
on becoming mayor of Cranville. It turns out that Esslinger had hired
Audrey, a gorgeous private detective operating solo in Cranville, with the
same intention of tracing the missing girls. While Audrey and Marc take

daughter, Edna, is Wolf's mistress. And Audrey, herself, is now
marked for murder.... |
