The story starts off involving Torch and Toro in a murder case which appears that the chaffuer and housekeeper murder their boss, Mr. Jordon, for his inheritance. But after the housekeeper murders the chauffeur so as not to have to split the money, Torch and Toro pursue the car and "she" loses control of it and crashes. Torch removes the wig from the dead body of cross-dressing Mr. Jordon and realizes that he had the chauffeur pick out a double of him from the Bowery and kill him to fake his own death and collect the life insurance policy.
