Mary and Blackie return home early from the pictures to find a corpse in the dining room. While Blackie tries to explain to Mary that he knows nothing about the body, Charlie Kingston phones to say he needs to see Blackie urgently and asks him to come to his apartment. However, Blackie arrives only to be advised that Mr. Kingston is in Chicago and has been for three days.
Jack Boyle (1881-1928) was the creator of the honorable criminal Boston Blackie, a popular character featured in radio serials, movies, and TV shows throughout the early twentieth century. After moving to San Francisco to work as a newspaperman, Boyle became addicted to opium and turned to a life of crime. He wrote the first Boston Blackie stories in San Quentin.
