We'd like you to meet Glenn Bowman, one of the toughest-and smartest- private eyes in New York.

This time he's got himself involved in trying to keep alive the current heart-throb of Broadway-Pierre Dupray.

Dupray is so certain that he's going to be bumped off between cocktail time and the time he boards the night plane for Hollywood that he is paying Bowman 2,000 dollars to keep him breathing.

Bowman's first step forward brings him up against a corpse, and even he can't make a dead man talk.This is only...
