A prize fighter could be involved with shady characters, and a payoff to take a dive. Which will win, his good sportsmanship, or the debt he owes and needs to pay off fast? Elsewhere, Archie and Nero have their own financial woes when Mr Rainey, the fighter’s promoter enters. What happened with the missing boxer? Archie is sent out to observe, and look for clues… like finding the fighter’s body under the canvass boxing ring at the gym?

A visit to Larson is in order, but he lost plenty on the boxer. Does that mean he has motive for murder? His wife’s hat was found at the crime scene. Somebody has some explaining to do.

Information could be forthcoming, but only if the da me is paid. Jealousy could be a motive for her to have killed her boyfriend… until a shot rings out and kills her. Don’t you just love it when all the possible suspects get killed off. It kind of takes all the mystery out of who did it, and leaves only figuring out how and why the killer murdered their man.
