Hap and Leonard are hired, through Marvin Hanson's private detective agency, to protect a woman from her estranged, abusive husband. Hap is framed for the man's murder while staking out his house, and upon further investigation, the two sleuths discover that the victim owed the Dixie Mafia crime syndicate a large sum of money, and in addition he had a large life insurance policy with his wife named as the sole beneficiary. Hap and Leonard are soon involved, not just in the murder, but in a kidnapping and ransom demand as well.[2][3]
