'LARRY KENT, the Private Investigator, is approached by the C. 1.8. to help them on the Marijhuana Case in an effort to break up a ring of dope-peddlers who are selling the drug to teen-agers. He is also engaged by an elderly millionairess, Mrs. Farnsworth, whose young grandson, Brian, is in the toils of the gang.

'In an attempt to murder Kent, Brian kills two of the gang. Subsequently, Mrs. Farnsworth receives by post a photograph and a blackmailing letter which reads: “Your grandson is in trouble. The picture enclosed will show how much trouble. The gun you see on the floor, beside the dead man, has Brian’s fingerprints on it. If you want that gun and the negative of the photo, it will cost you £50,000. I will phone you at seven to-night.”

'Police records show the dead man to be a small-time gangster. Kent’s investigation locates the scene of the murder as the flat of an attractive, respectable girl who was travelling in the country when the murder occurred.

'But it is this very clue which leads Kent to the real murderer and the smashing of the marijhuana ring.'
