Real-life singing star Frankie Laine and his assistant Tom scour the city for a mysterious singer with a golden voice, never suspecting Jo, Tom's neglected girlfriend.

Aspiring figure skater Gloria is tricked by a rival into performing a dangerous knife-jumping stunt that already injured one skater, in a story with early art by Doug Wildey. Cover (featuring a photo of Frankie Laine) may be the work of Wildey as well.
