Murder can't wait
No ratings yet
Stuart Fleming, former member of the Dyckman University football squad, is laid up with a broken leg at home when he puts in a call to the Manhattan police. He gives them a story of gamblers trying to get at the current Dyckman players for point-shaving purposes. Lieutenant Nathan Shapiro drives out to the house to question him, only to discover that someone handy with a gun has been there first. The ex-football star is deader than a punctured pigskin. That's when Captain Heimrich gets into the game and finds that football isn't the only sport involved. There's golf, for instance, and philandering — possibly involving a blonde named Enid, or dark-haired Catherine, or redheaded Mrs. Bryce — or maybe all three!
