A brief notice presents Dr Night by Aldan de Brune, noted author of The Dagger and Cord and The Shadow Crook, among others, with emphasis on his body of work and literary reputation.
Journalist Hardy probes a Darlinghurst Road unconscious man case. A precise caller, Dr Night, warns him off, revealing a letter fragment and a dangerous, unnamed agenda. Hardy, aided by editor Thomas, hunts the source through exchanges and police channels, tracing the call from Oxford Street post office.
Hardy and Frost chase a telephoned clue to Dr Night through Oxford Street. A constable identifies a grey, bespectacled man matching the description near the post office and at Crown Street. The detective pressures for a face-to-face tonight while the newsroom braces for a sensational scoop.
