'IT had to happen—Larry Kent, Private Investigator, cooling his heels in a cell, with the cancellation of his licence imminent. And all because of Judith, whose husband’s eyes Kent had blackened during an interrupted flirtation.

'Judith finds her husband dead in his armchair. She calls on Kent as an old friend to enlist his help to move the body from the flat. But Kent refuses, for the Commissioner has warned Kent that if there are any more of his too unorthodox methods of showing his hate of crime he will lose his licence.

'Ever susceptible to a pretty woman’s charms, he agrees to at least visit the flat to see if there are any clues to the murder. However, the sound of the shooting has been reported to the police, and one member of the force discovers Kent with the body and the murdered man’s wife—and in he goes!

'Through the intervention of friend Inspector Daniels, he is given a chance to trace the murderer. His routine is to check on all Judith's admirers, which is quite a job. Rough-arm tactics on the lovely, if fickle, Judith bring unexpected results, and flirtatious Larry Kent retains his licence to flirt another day.'
