「全車に告ぐ、全車に告ぐ。Smoke Riseで誘拐事件発生。誘拐されたのは8歳の少年。金髪で赤いセーターを着ている。名前はジェフリー・レイノルズ。ダグラス・キングのお抱え運転手、チャールズ・レイノルズの息子だ。」 87分署の警官たちは誘拐犯を憎んでいる。今回の誘拐犯は愚かなことに誘拐する相手を間違えた。大金持ちのダグラス・キングの息子を誘拐するつもりで、お抱え運転手の息子を誘拐してしまったのだ。誘拐犯は身代金500,000ドルを要求している。大金だが、幼い命の代償に大した額ではない。…本当にそうだろうか?

Calling all cars, calling all cars. Here's the story on the Smoke Rise kidnapping. The missing boy is eight years old, fair hair, wearing a red sweater. His name is Jeffry Reynolds, son of Charles Reynolds, chauffeur to Douglas King.' The police at the 87th Precinct hate kidnappers. And these kidnappers are stupid, too. They took the wrong boy - the chauffeur's son instead of the son of the rich tycoon, Douglas King. And they want a ransom of $500,000. A lot of money. But it's not too much to pay for a little boy's life... is it?
