'LARRY KENT, the private investigator, is retained by the “Queen of Sydney’s Underworld,” one Molly Mavis, to recover a diamond necklace, which was an engagement present from Skinner Hokum, and discover the thief.
'The diamonds were “hot,” and Skinner tells Kent he paid £3000 for them, although their real value would have been £20,000. Kent visits a King’s Cross dive-cafe and is slugged unconscious. However, before he finally passes out he gets a glimpse of a pair of pointed-toe tan shoes. It’s this that leads to his finding out the name of the thief, but not without the assistance of some rough-arm tactics on a phiz-gig member of Sydney’s underworld—Bluey Mason.
'Kent eventually is launched on yet another of his apparently interminable love affairs.'
