Editor's Note

Jake Speed, defender of justice, is on a new mission. He must save a kidnapped girl from the clutches of a greedy "white slaver." The funny thing is, as far as anybody knows, Jake Speed is purely a fictional character. But that doesn't stop the kidnapped girl's grandfather from placing the call and getting Speed on the case.
