Black [?] the Audacious Synopsis: Richard Yerrell, popular writer of defective novels, and gentleman cracksman, is known to Scotland Yard as BLACKSHIRT, and efforts to discover his identity or to capture him have so far failed. His latest job has been to steal the famous Laughing Pearl, which turns out to be worthless. Blackshirt next turns his attention to a priceless gold reliquary, which he first notices at a wedding reception at which he is a guest. Although it is guarded by detectives, he determines to add it to his collection. One of the detectives tells him that Scotland Yard fears the intervention of two cracksmen—Blackshirt and the Jackdaw. Blackshirt then discovers that The Jackdaw is in reality Peebles, the man he had outwitted in the Laughing Pearl robbery. While still at the reception the reliquary is stolen by The Jackdaw, but Blackshirt cleverly retrieves it without the former's knowledge. After returning to his apartment, he is admiring the necklet when suddenly The Jackdaw breaks in, accuses him of the theft, and states that he is aware of his identity Unperturbed, Blackshirt contradicts him, but is forced to hand over the reliquary. The Jackdaw departs, and Blackshirt decides on a daring plan. He races the other cracksman back to his home, breaks, in and hides In a cupboard, intending to turn the tables on him'. Presently The Jackdaw and his gang arrives, and Blackshirt overhears their plans for a robbery at the home of Lord Have. They discover him just as they are leaving, and plan to make him the scapegoat. The robbery is carried out, and The Jackdaw secures Blackshirt to the safe, from which he is unable to escape. Eventually he is rescued by a young girl, who says she is governess to the Have children. Now Read On
