KNOCK-OUT FUN BOOK 1944 · Date unknown · Amalgamated Press · 7/6 SEXTON BLAKE ON THE TRAIL OF THE TOAD by Anon. (Unknown) · Illustrator: Anon. (Unknown) PDF: Click here Other content: Various strips and text stories. Notes: Sexton Blake and Tinker are asked to investigate a series of robberies at stores, shops and warehouses. They receive a note warning them off. It is signed by The Toad. Suddenly, nearby, a smash and grab raid occurs. An item of loot is dropped and on it Blake finds a clear set of fingerprints which turn out to belong to a well-known crook named Slim Jim. When this man is spotted with a colleague, he is arrested, though the other man runs away. Tinker shadows him but is led into a trap, knocked out and thrown into a canal. He revives in time to see the crook get away... and also notices that a nearby barge is named Toad. Later, Sexton Blake finds a clue that leads him and Tinker to Conley Castle, home of the hermit-like Lord Conley. Here they notice that lorries are arriving at the castle empty but leaving full. Chartering a plane so that he can get a bird's eye view, Blake notes that the canal runs under the castle. That afternoon, he hides aboard a barge. As it floats under the castle, part of the tunnel wall slides open and stolen property is unloaded into the building. The vessel then emerges into the open and Blake pounces, overpowering its crew before summoning the police. Meanwhile, Tinker scales the castle wall and enters through a window... but he doesn't realise that he's been spotted. Inside, he finds Lord Conley tied up but, before he can free him, he is captured by crooks and dragged before The Toad. At that moment, Blake and the police raid the castle via the secret entrance in the tunnel and round up the gang. Rating:

Notes: After a drunken spree encouraged by recent acquaintance named Ted Trevett, Tom Marshall is banned from entering London's West End for two years. He discovers that this strict sentence has been arranged by his father, Digby, who seems to be withholding a secret in connection with the district. Weeks later, Tom finds a man dying from a stab wound. The man gasps his father's name and also that of Trevett. Tom runs for help but when he returns to the spot the man has vanished. Fearing that his father is in trouble, he calls Sexton Blake. In the guise of a petty criminal named "Brookie", the detective haunts the West End until he makes contact with Trevett. He befriends him and is introduced to a pick-pocket named Dol Kesney and the latter's fiance, Clare. Later, Blake meets Clare alone and learns that the two men are working up a scheme with a crooked lawyer named Jessamy. Meanwhile Tinker discovers that the knife victim was Lemuel Forster — Kesney's uncle. Mrs Forster, unaware of her husband's death, moves into the Marshall manor and seems to have a hold over Digby Marshall. Now, thanks to misinformation spread by Tinker, the criminals start to suspect each other; Stevens tries to shoot Dol but misses and kills Clare; Jessamy realises that "Brookie" is very dangerous; and Trevett just wants to get out of the game. All the parties head towards a showdown at the Marshall manor. There, Mrs. Forster has been living in comfort at Digby's expense but now has a change of heart and tells him that she will no longer use the hold she has over him and will return to her simple life. She goes to meet Stevens, the killer of her husband, and finds him hanging by the neck in a barn. Dol turns up and agrees with her that it's time to get out. He returns to London and is immediately arrested by the police for picking pockets. Blake, Mrs. Forster and Jessamy arrive at the place where Digby Marshall's secret is buried. Blake defeats Jessamy's plans and runs him out of town; Mrs. Foster atones for her sins and is left to rebuild her life; and Digby faces up to his past and comes clean. Trivia: When Tinker uses a false identity he gives his name as James Carter. Under questioning, he insists that 'Carter' is his real name. Rating:
