Henry Pitfield Rice is an unglorified detective leading an uneventful life, making ends meet by keeping up with the comings and goings of certain people. One day, he comes across the chorus girl Alice Weston and falls head over heels for her. The problem is, she wants nothing to do with someone who is not in the same line of business as she is. When Henry is tasked with shadowing a person in Alice's touring company, he finds himself with the perfect opportunity to win her over – or fail miserably. Hear the short story by P.G. Wodehouse dating back to the early 20th century as read by B.J. Harrison.
