Crime SuspenStories
Mrs. Hodges; Roy (hotel desk clerk); Mr. Unger [as John Miller] (villain);
John Miller was looking for a patsy to be able to take advantage of for larcenous purposes and succeeded, he thought, when he met the wealthy Mrs. Hodges, who said she had a fabulous diamond collection, which he desired. But first he would have to obtain a master key to her place, which he arranged cleverly to do. However, things didn't quite work out the way he wished.
