Phyllis Harlowe is her name, and private investigation is her game. Her lip gloss is bulletproof. She has a landlord who wants the rent, a secretary assistant who’s deeply into the soaps, and a frightened male client who wants protection. She also has a lounge singer boyfriend who wants her to quit “this crummy racket” and marry him. Then, of course, there’s Phyllis’ nemesis, the homicidal preppy, Darlene Bourgeois. In the end, justice triumphs and love conquers – but only after plenty of drama, lots of action, and lots of laughs.
