Synopsis:
Unable to solve the murder of Ed Carson, Sheriff Chase receives a tip from amateur sleuth and wax museum owner Len Billings. When Chase pays Billings a visit at the museum, he finds Len has been murdered. Bobo tracks the killer to the basement, where after a fierce chase, the murdered is apprehended. The killer is Carl Lawton, Carson's lawyer, who had run up large gambling debts. Billings was killed because he discovered the connection and had sculpted a wax statue of Lawton for the museum.
