- Switchboard operator Suzanne's brother is missing. Jeff agrees to take the case for free. The brother works as a chauffeur for a woman whose husband died recently in an accident. There are many complications.
- Jeff learns that Suzanne is worried about her brother Marcel Fabry, each the only other's relative in the US. She hasn't heard from him in a few weeks and no one seems to know where he is. He worked as a chauffeur for studio costume designer Elaine Lamson, his year long stint in that job which had just come to an end as Mrs. Lamson, whose driver's license was suspended for that year for a drunk driving record, was getting her license back. Coincidentally, her older husband, Mike Lamson, a diamond trader, was killed in a vehicle accident the day Marcel went missing. To help a friend, Jeff decides to investigate on the firm's dime. The investigation goes slowly with Jeff unable to discover much tangible information. He gets Roscoe to snoop around the race track as Marcel was in trouble with the law when he was younger being involved in a race track scam, and he may have turned to his old colleagues. The only thing bothering Jeff in the early going is a seeming lie told to him and Suzanne by Mrs. Lamson. That lie and Marcel's earlier trouble lead Jeff to suspect that Mrs. Lamson, who is closer in age to Marcel than to her husband, and Marcel may have killed Mr. Lamson both for the sizable life insurance money and as a crime of passion, Marcel currently in hiding until the dust settles. Ultimately, Jeff may have to pull a sting on Mrs. Lamson to discover the truth.—Huggo
