     A paleontologist is murdered and leaves a vital clue
with Professor Bartok; a dinosaur bone.  Their initial
investigation leads to the bone being stolen and Pratt being
knocked unconscious.  When he awakes the victim's beautiful
sister has come to town and so has an old friend of
Bartok's, another paleontologist.  The dinosaur bone changes
hands a few more times as they try to solve the mystery.
