Mrs. Dorothea Thomas employs down-at-heel Indianapolis private eye Albert Samson - at reduced rates - to find out why she is not allowed to visit her brother, a salesman-cum-researcher at a research laboratory, who has been in intensive care for seven months after an accident at work.But all is not as it seems, and despite his original employment being called off, Samson continues his enquiries, in the face of bureaucrats and an alcoholic wife, until the true tale begins to emerge.
