He saw the results of brave attempts in Japan and by Los Angeles' Dr. Alden Miller. But whenever these patients swallowed...

Only by the intervention of a tough but noble leader named "Bull" Evans does the poor kid clear himself. Evans simply hires a private eye to prove that Dean Goodhue and Clevenger have been in, well, cahoots...
