RED MAHONEY was persistent. That was what made him a good newsreel cameraman. For several hours, he had wanted to put Doc Savage into a film. No other newsreel man had ever done that. Red intended to be the first.

The cameraman had got all there was to record inside the residence of the dead Cedric Cecil Spade. Linked up with the Vandersleeve film, and the one he had grabbed after the Pearsall murder, this would be a knock-out. Red had not been openly in evidence at the Pearsall murder and fire.

Being a wise cameraman, he had got his shots there from a concealed spot.

Now he was determined to add the giant figure of Doc Savage to his celluloid collection. To this end, Red oozed quietly from the Spade residence. His tripod was set up in the evergreen shrubbery close to the car in which the bronze giant had arrived.

Doc had finished his observations inside the mansion. Accompanied by the shrinking but beefy figure of Mr. Mathers, the bronze giant emerged. Together the pair walked down the steps and across toward Doc’s car.

Red Mahoney got a quick focus. A confident grin illuminated his big, freckled face. After this one, he would be the ace of all the New York picture shooters. He started to grind at the little crank.

"Hello, Mr. Mahoney!" came an excited voice. "I didn’t know you were here. Oh! Look out for your camera!"

The voice was that of Pat Savage. She arrived in the shrubbery in an abrupt manner. One foot tripped on a root. One hand clutched at the tripod on which the movie camera was set. Pat fell and her gorgeous, reddish-golden head struck Red Mahoney squarely in the stomach.

Doc Savage’s roadster was gliding out of the driveway. Red glared at Pat Savage. He had missed the picture he had wanted badly.
