The primary story introduces Jeb Rivers, a riverboat captain involved in a turbulent tale on the Mississippi River where he and his father become embroiled in conflict with a vengeful gambler named Roke, leading to a racing competition between steamboats. A secondary story follows Sir Roger, a world traveler and book collector who arrives at an exclusive women's club for a lecture, only to be revealed as an impostor attempting to steal a valuable folio edition from the club's library, resulting in a chaotic confrontation and his escape attempt.
When a down-on-his-luck vagabond named Sir Roger stumbles into the welcoming town of Scatville desperately hungry, he's treated like a celebrity by the local Women's Club and invited to give a lecture about his travels. But his moment of glory takes a sharp turn when the real Sir Roger De Floop, the actual world traveler and lecturer, shows up to claim his spot—leaving our impostor exposed and literally chased out of town.
When wealthy book collector Greville Nash urgently summons District Attorney Betty Bates to his mansion, she arrives to find him murdered—and the killers have made off with only a single volume from his priceless library. As Betty and her persistent reporter friend Larry investigate, they uncover a puzzling question: why steal a book worth mere hundreds when thousands of dollars in rarer editions surround it? The answer lies hidden between the pages of Nash's collection, where Betty must decipher the real motive behind his death before the killers return.
