Lily Teal: Blonde, 5'5'' tall 112 lbs.
Her disappearance was listed on the police blotter as a routine Missing Persons case, but Captain Parker was convinced she had been murdered. And he ordered Lieutenant Al Wheeler to find her killer. Faced with no corpse and no clues, the California cop is forced to follow a dangerous lead. It takes him straight to a secluded harem of a crooked financier who gets Wheeler jailed on a phoney assault charge and nails him with a false murder rap. The perfect frame to hang a troublemaker named Al Wheeler.

It did not take Al long to find her. The blonde bombshell had mysteriously disappeared on her way to the corner drugstore to buy some pills. The first time Wheeler found her it was on the wrong side of a locked door in a crooked financiers hideaway, dressed in diamonds and gold. The second time he found her curled up in his apartment with the same diamonds and gold but with a vacant stare. Lily was just as beautiful dead as she was alive.
