The king of the black market doesn’t take no for an answer, so Archie Goodwin isn’t taking any chances when he’s invited to go for a ride in the big black Cadillac. Concern for his detective friend, Nero finds himself inviting the mobster to the office to discuss the situation. Nero won’t be a part to illegal doings, but turns the case over to Archie to help with the blackmail trouble. The matter is particularly troublesome, since the blackmailer is his own daughter, Violet. Who is Beulah Page then?
Finding Beulah in her university dorm, Archie is the first to learn of the marriage proposal. The giddy couple are whisked away for Nero to entertain them over dinner. Later, Nero learns more about the embittered Violet, and the abuses she claims have come at the hand of her father. Archie picks up where Nero left off with Violet. Will his flirtatious ways get her softened up?
Danger and gunplay is in store for Archie. Bodies pile up, and the case seems firmly in the hands of the cops. That doesn’t mean the case is over. Rival racketeers could present a deadly danger to both Archie and Nero. Even so, they still need to protect Miss Page.
Nero comes clean with Beulah, as much as he can, about her real father, and the large sum of money she has coming. Working with the cops, there’s still some crime to mop up, finding the mastermind behind the blackmail, and protecting the interest of the innocent Beulah in the world of thugs who want her money.
