To Peter Duluth the full-size puppets had the appearance of life--except for one which turned out to be Eulalia Crawford. There was a knife in her breast and she was horribly dead. Red Roses were strewn over Eulalia's corpse...the white roses came later and destroyed the plans Peter and his movie-star wife had made for their first night together in many months. They found themselves up to their ears in violence and wanted for murder. Their nights became one of wild pursuits through the dark streets of San Francisco's Chinatown and the backstage alleys of a circus.
