Toby Peters, the Hollywood private eye who has previously saved the likes of Judy Garland, Gary Cooper, and the Marx Brothers, is back. This time there’s trouble under the big top, and his services are required by none other than Emmett Kelly.
A circus elephant has been electrocuted and Kelly fears for his life. Toby goes undercover as a clown and becomes entangled with a cast of bizarre characters, including a 250-pound wrestler/poet, a beautiful snake charmer, an immaculately-dressed Swiss midget, and a baffling witness named Alfred Hitchcock. It’s all in a day’s work for Toby Peters, and in another fast-paced Forties-era mad-cap adventure for his fans.
