Or Microfilm in the Fish Tank.
George is a tailor, and the victim of extortion. He goes to his customer, Barry Craig for help. The private eye recommends taking it to the cops, but when his place burns down, he turns out to not be very well protected. Barry feels guilty, and takes it personal.
Hot on the trail of the racketeers, Barry is hired by newspaper man. How can he help get to the top of the extortion ring? Why doesn’t he just rely on his reporters? Back on the streets, Barry shakes up his informants. The pressure pays off, and one clue leads to another to climb up the ladder to the top, or close enough to it.
A phony holding company is found, and a retired convict with a heart problem. more phony companies spring out of the woodwork, and in a dentist office, micro film is found. Barry is iin a tough spot when he takes a risk to steal the film. It does the trick to make the big boss show his hand. Get ready for gun play, and danger before the mystery is solved.
Note: Hiding microfilm ing a fish tank? My first thought was, ‘O come now boss!’ Fish tanks are meant to be in full view, so you can see the fish. The bad guys wouldn’t need to beat up on anybody,. They could see the film right there. However, I suppose in desperation, its plausible that a panicked person might thoughtlessly shove something there to hide. Its still in plain sight, and clearly out of place. It also leads to Barry’s twist to polishing off the case.
