Before George Stannard left Honolulu, he took a parting drink with a man he disliked. Neither did the man like him. In one of the glasses was a Hawaiian concoction which did strange things to men. 'Here's how!' As the drinks went down, each man thought he had outwitted the other. "George Stannard later went to Chicago to meet his eccentric uncle, Simon Stannard, collector of old safes. In one of these safes had lain the weird secret of the skull of the waltzing clown. "It is about that secret and the romance between its holder and Miss 'O Lily Sing Lee' that this new Keeler novel gyrates as dizzily as a sky-writing plane -- except that, at the end, all the strokes in the sky spell Plot, Mystery and Drama -- in that extraordinary Keeler way!
