| - The story starts with Eve Dallas worrying about getting married to Roarke. Still at home, she tells Roarke that she is going shopping for a wedding dress at Leonardo's; she is reluctant to do more than window shop, but her friend Mavis drags her in. Once inside, Leonardo assists Eve with dress selection. As Eve is undressing for a fitting, another woman, Pandora, comes in and attacks Leonardo. Eve strikes Pandora and Mavis becomes entangled in the fight. Leonardo and Eve break them up and Pandora threatens them, then leaves. Mavis tells Leonardo that because she loves him, she'll go away so that he can have a future. Eve leaves Leonardo's and returns home exhausted. Roarke finds her collapsed on her bed and lies down beside her as she explains what happened. Roarke tells her he'll be going away for a while, as he rolls her over and unbuttons her shirt. She asks him how long but soon gets distracted and they make love. The next morning, Eve visits the morgue and discovers that Carter Johannsen (alias Boomer), one of her informants, was brutally beaten to death with a blunt instrument and thrown in the river. She enlists the help of Officer Peabody and Captain Feeney to track down the killer. With Peabody, Eve visits Boomer's flop which is devastatingly filthy. They go through his entire home and find a sample of a drug, along with its formula, under his bed. Eve goes home to Roarke and tells him about what she and Peabody found. Showing him the formula, they discover it is a new type of drug, not yet released, that can both enhance sexual performance and act as a cell regenerator that restores youth. In the middle of the night, Mavis calls Eve because someone is dead at Leonardo's--Pandora, with her face beaten to a pulp. An investigation is made into Pandora's death, and all the evidence points to Mavis. Eve learns that Mavis went to see Leonardo. Tracking down Leonardo, she finds him at Mavis' place, drunk and bleeding from accidentally falling on his glass. Believing that neither Mavis nor Leonardo could have committed the crime, Eve sets off to find the true killer.
