Toy Trap

by Bill Strutton

Dr Keel is puzzled by the disappearance of shop-girls at a department store. Someone is pressurising the young ladies into prostitution. Bunty, Keel's friend, agrees to trap the culprit, so that her friend May can come out of hiding. The girls' landlady, Mrs McCabe, reveals her double-life allowing Steed to close her house of ill repute.
