description: In Girl On the Loose, Honey is kidnapped and dressed to look like an AWOL Marine named Sylvia Verse, only to have her kidnapper killed in a hail of bullets intended for Honey. Rescued by Lt. Mark Storm, she is informed that on the same night an old friend from Junior College was smothered to death shortly after giving birth. Meanwhile, in the same hospital, someone who matches Honey’s description kidnaps a millionaire’s new baby.  Three strange occurrences like this need a talented author to handle a well-crafted plot and some believable characters to carry the ball. Unfortunately, the Ficklings were trapped in that goofy 1950s style where characters were cartoons and the plots could weave wildly around the facts without regard to reality. Bodies fall everywhere as guns become the means to settle all scores, but typically our heroine manages to dodge all the lead.
