When a drunken woman leads wisecracking reporter Daffy Dill to a corpse in a rocking chair, he stumbles into a deadly racket involving gangsters, undertakers, and a mysterious “fifty-grand brain”—where every clue points to a plot far more twisted than murder.

When a death-defying escape artist takes a dive into the Harlem River in a sealed coffin, wisecracking reporter Daffy Dill smells a phony stunt—but before he can crack the trick, a Hollywood siren drops dead under hotter lights than any stage, and the case turns from sideshow to straight-up murder.
