The lady of the title never appears in the film because she is dead at the bottom of a lake. Before Montgomery finally catches up with the killer-and with love-he has bulled his way through brass knuckles, a moldy jail, various sinister strangers, venal policemen...

Behind him, on the desk, he left his night's work: the last Sunday comic page of Terry and the Pirates he would ever draw. Its frames held deftly drawn figures, caught in the restrained gestures of a farewell. The fadeout was appropriately up-to-the-minute: a transport plane lifting into a sky that was streaked like the wan sunrise outside his studio...
