Sally Blane - World's Greatest Girl Detective

Sally Blane - a pretty and indomitable seventeen-year-old - has solved mysteries all over the globe

In her latest adventure, she discovers that her father, Lane Blane, is being held hostage by a coffee cartel in Latin America

With her omnipresent chaperone, Fricka Norse, and her plump chum, Amaryllis White, Sally sets forth to save her Dad

Her boyfriend, Scotty Schuykill, wants her to stay home with him and do normal things like go to school

But Sally can't resist another mystery and takes off for foreign soil ...

Aboard the S.S. Privilege, bound for Latin America, Sally is stalked by the menacing (though bumbling) Blister Owen

She also meets up with Consuelo and Lupe Wordsworth, two helpless waifs who are returning to the land of their birth to hunt for their inheritance, the Wordsworth Fortune. Sally vows to help them

Once in Latin America, she is introduced to Connie and Lulu's sinister aunt, Tia Esmerelda, who seems to know more about the whereabouts of Sally's father than she should

Aided only by her flashlight and a magnifying glass, Sally is sideswiped by a sinister sedan, roughed up by a thug, rendered unconscious by a drug-soaked handkerchief, kidnapped, bopped on the head, poisoned by a mysterious devil doll, lured through the hazardous tropical rain forest, and pushed down an old stone well by her own father

And that's only Act One

In Act Two she finds time to become fluent in Spanish, learn the tango, discovers the missing fortune, save her father's life, and subvert a massive plot to take over the entire Southern Hemisphere

Just before the curtain, Sally is reconciled with Scotty and promises to go back to school

But then a mysterious gun shot rings out

And Sally charges off on her next case
