This Spanish-language pulp story, "¿Quién mató a Susan Miller?" (Who Killed Susan Miller?) by Silver Kane, is a crime/mystery thriller. Young newspaper reporter Nat Temple receives a late-night call from a distressed man named Belmar claiming to be responsible for kidnapping students from the exclusive Silverley School in Croydon. Temple, skeptical but intrigued, visits Belmar's address—a pornographic shop on Nathaniel's Road. Inside, he discovers Belmar brutally murdered: stabbed over thirty times with his eyes gouged from their sockets. Eerie, spectral laughter surrounds Temple as he becomes trapped in the back room. Escaping, he notices missing photographs from the shop's "teenagers" section, with numbering jumping from three to five. Realizing he's stumbled into a serious crime involving sex and violence, the anxious Temple fears the scandal could destroy his career at the respectable Commerce Monitor newspaper and contemplates fleeing the scene.
