A perennial, even a favorite, Whoops Sister -- Hildegrade Withers comes out of retirement (with that poodle) to pipe out Inspector Piper on a chase from New York City to Mexico. All to do with the killing of TV star who has spoken out of turn. A greyhound race, a Mexican boy as a right hand man, creaking international relations and Our Miss Withers paying the Piper with doubles. Cellophane with a crackle.
