Description
Jailed for vagrancy in Minnesota, Johnny and Sam woke up to find that one of their cell mates had been murdered during the night. Facing a murder charge, they broke jail and set out to find the killer in a wild tangle of suspects, but always the trail led back to the fabulous Talking Clock. The dead mans millionaire grandfather owned the priceless timepiece, and though a lot of people wanted to take it away from him, only one - which one? - had killed to get it. Johnny and his musclebound show more partner had to find the answer in a hurry. - Back cover. show lessTags
