A Philip Odell serial in eight episodes by Lester Powell
[Starring] Robert BEatty
The story so far. A yellow fog hung over the City when Philip Odell, private detective, received an unexpected vIsitor - a Mrs. Edwina Melvin, a widow from Leighton Buzzard. Could he - would he - find her missing actress daughter, Grace Weston? The search takes Odell and Heather, his girl-assistant, via the office of Syd Buxter, theatrical agent, to the Sunland Amusement Arcade where Grace has recently been employed. They are shadowed there by a little man in a red tie, but lose him in the fog. At the Arcade Odell meets the unpleasantly sleek manager, Mr. Pinzini, and Ella, the girl cashier. Both deny any knowledge of Grace's whereabouts, but later that evening Ella is discovered lying on Odell's doorstep, her face slashed by a razor.
The scene moves to Green's Gymnasium, in Holloway, where Odell hopes Ella's boy friend, Dickie Penn, can explain Grace's disappearance. He draws a blank but to his surprise, Buxter turns up and re-introduces himself as proprietor of the establishment.
Odell and Heather decide to make enquiries at Grace Weston's hotel near Victoria - only to find her room occupied by the corpse of their old acquaintance - the little man in the red tie.....
