Night Beat - Mentallo The Mental Marvel
Randy Stone is on the night beat for the Chicago Star when he decides to visit the carnival at Riverview Park. There he wanders into the sideshow and discovers an act billed as "Mentallo The Man Who Knows Everything." Mentallo, he learns, boasts a perfect photographic memory.
When someone in the crowd asks Mentallo what happened to him on the 15th of last month -- the man who knows everything goes into a panic and the show is called off.
When Randy tracks down the man who asked the question, he is met with threats. Now, really intrigued, the intrepid reporter is determined to find the answer.
