It's always fun to watch Toby Peters interact with the great and famous, and usually end up as poor as he was to start with. This caper has him leaving his familiar Los Angeles haunts to travel to San Francisco at Leopold Stokowski's request. The conductor is helping bring opera back to a long-abandoned building, and the production of Madame Butterfly has hit some snags--including murder threats and pickets. After all, Pearl Harbor was only a few months ago. The police think the whole thing is a publicity stunt, and won't step in until they arrest--Toby, who's been cleverly framed for a murder.
