...meanwhile, had launched the biggest manhunt in its history (cost: $1,000,000), warning officials in Mexico and Canada, favorite hideaways in Ray's tawdry past, to be on the alert. Scotland Yard and Interpol joined the manhunt, and FBI liaison men traveled to Europe and Australia in search of their...
...under a telltale system that sometimes even plastic surgery cannot fool. Another ingenious file contains perforated cards that, superimposed, tell at a glance how many persons from different categories (men, women, Dominicans, Dahomeyans) have committed similar major crimes-especially useful when clues are nil.

The deodorant and hairspray espionage is supposed to concern itself with the sweet success of smell. But along the line it develops that Interpol is also involved. Someone has been blending hallucinogens into the cosmetics and shipping them all over the world-an LSDevice that gives the stars a chance to plod after a preposterous plot between the opening credits and the closing clinches...
