The Hat Box Mystery
"Like-a-Jack-in-the-Box----Murder jumped out and claimed its Victim!"
Susan Hart, assistant to private detective Russ Ashton, is given a camera concealed in a hat box and assigned to take a picture of a woman.

Susan is charged with murder, but Russ and his less-than-useful associate, Harvard, get on the case and prove that the fatal shot was fired by the killer from across the street.
