In the title story, set against the backdrop of the world of professional singing, Bertram Beary thwarts the poisoning of a beautiful prima donna during a New Year’s Eve gala performance of Die Fledermaus. In ‚The Mephisto Waltz Jump, ‚ rivalry between two young champions at the skating rink results in a catastrophic accident-or was it an accident?
