The strip features Kerry Drake, a criminal investigator and policeman. Drake used new crime analysis tools to solve complex cases, which gained the strip popular readership. This is a draft, black ink drawing of a later published "Kerry Drake" strip in which Kerry inspects fingerprints of a suspected robber.
