Christopher Nichols was a tall, slim man with graying hair. For many years he had been in charge of the Nichols Detective Agency and was well known not only in Belton City but throughout the state. Many persons believed that Penny had inherited her father's sleuthing ability, for even at the age of fifteen she had shown remarkable talent in solving mystery cases.

Christopher Nichols is a successful private investigator who has been hired by an insurance company to catch a gang of car thieves. Yet so far, Mr. Nichols has had no luck in tracking down the thieves. Penny's curiosity only gets more intense after a tire is stolen from her car. Penny learns from the insurance adjustor that, incredibly, thirty other tires were stolen on the same day that her tire was stolen. Penny probes the adjuster with questions and decides to try to locate the thieves herself. Penny takes several great risks, including following the suspected thieves into a vacant building. In the end, Penny cracks the case for her father and earns his appreciation.
