Description: A smart antique shop is a cover for otorious but elegant gambling rooms in the rear. Martinique, cold-blooded and ruthless, is the owner; his manager and his fish-eyed secretary are as unsavory as he. But Martinique makes a mistake when he draws into a diabolical plot a lovely young girl and her fiancé, with no less than murder charged against them; for the girl's aunt is the redoubtable Miss Ethel Thomas, the canny old lady whose hobby is solving murder mysteries. Laid in fast-paced, just-a-little mad Hollywood. --
