Synopsis
On his way to a much needed break from a heavy workload, Dr Keel happens to witness the attempted suicide of a young woman who leaps from a bridge as he is crossing it. A passing boater rescues her from the icy waters and Dr Keel attends to her until she is taken to a hospital. Unfortunately, shortly after arriving, she dies, leaving Dr Keel - and the police - with several mysteries. An autopsy reveals she was drugged - to the point that she could not have possibly leapt from the bridge on her own, suggesting murder instead of suicide. So, who might have wanted her dead, and why? And who is she? Anything that might help identify her is missing - even the boater who rescued her. Dr Keel has the nagging suspicion that he has seen the young woman before and, with the help of assistant, he finds a picture of her in an article about a traveling circus performing in town. Together they pay the circus a visit on its last performance - only to be confronted with yet more riddles about the identity of the woman Dr Keel thought he saw leap from the bridge.
