It continues with a travelogue type introduction the beach area and life. California South Beach life in the 1960s is pleasurable describe in humorous detail. Then a monumental city event occurs: a bank is relived of its cash. The bandits modus operandi is almost as twisted as the tale of his discovery. Peter Decoville decides he is the man to solve the crime in hopes of further his fading career. The task is not easy. He is aided in his efforts by a Mensa-level newspaper manager, a donut-infested police department, a silent auto mechanic, an automobile entrepreneur, and a less than precocious friend.
