The Eighth Mrs Bluebeard / Hillary Waugh

It is about a sting operation to convict a murderer who has defrauded a company of thousands of dollars in life insurance policies. J.B. Stanford, president of his own insurance agency, becomes aware of several cases of insurance fraud when he sees a number of claims being paid out to the wives of various men, all named Andrew. Besides the highly unlikely coincidence of the first name, it is noticeable that five of the six wives of these various Andrews have died in accidents in the wild, and the repetition of the types of accidents (drowning in a canoe accident, falling off cliffs) also raises alarm bells. Stanford arranges a baffling plot involving Jack Graham, a top salesman, Charles Miles, a private detective, and Gene Taylor, the woman who is to catch Andrew Fisher’s eye as his next wife and future victim.
