Summaries

A reporter who wants to solve crimes gets into comic scrapes with a beautiful stranger and a misunderstood dog.

Reporter Henry Barton, just out of the Army, is chagrined to be made Science Editor while his old crime reporter job goes to Bess. Against orders, Henry probes a racketeering case, and is in a Brooklyn tavern when beautiful Julia comes in with a well-trained Doberman Pinscher and with the dog's aid proceeds to rob the place... or does she? More complications ensue, with a "battle of the sexes" undertone.—Rod Crawford <[email protected]>

Henry Barton, the crime reporter for a New York City newspaper, has been promoted to the editor of the paper's Science Department, but longs to get his old job back. He thinks he can do so if he turns up the missing witness in a tax-evasion case. He crosses paths with Julia Andrews, a policewoman working on the case.She owns a Doberman-Pinscher named Rodney , recently discharged from his World War II duties in the K-9 Corps, and a chain of events soon finds Rodney accused of being an accomplice in hold-up and being sought by every policeman in the city. But Rodney soon justifies his actions by rescuing Henry and Julia from a watery grave in the East River and, then, holding a half-dozen gangster at bay.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
