It was a balmy summer night in 1920’s Chicago, the perfect weather for sleuthing out answers to a wispy dame’s problems. He was one of the top detectives in the city, and always reasonably rewarded for his work. Yes, he had Ace Dick and Pickle Inspector next door to contend with, but he wasn’t about to let that get in the way of his aspirations. Sure, Ace Dick got all the good cases, but he was certain a hysterical dame would call him up any minute now, and all that would change. What he lacked in vim and imagination, he made up for in spades with his pulchritude and that would get him far, he knew.

He was prepared for a particularly hard-boiled night, when out of the blue he had an overwhelming urge to QUICKLY RETRIEVE ARMS FROM SAFE.

Nothing would ever be the same again.
