When the Continental Op gets roused out of bed early on a Sunday morning, he isn’t too impressed. Especially when his contact on a missing person case is an excited and teary man overcome with worry. All the same, the Op begins looking into the mysterious circumstances under which a girl with silver eyes, the man's girlfriend, seems to have disappeared. It was introduced in 'Black Mask' this way: "Mr. Hammett has written some lively and unusual tales .. ; but for action, shrewd detective work, sheer interest and surprise, his latest, herewith, surpasses them all."
