Danger on the Air (1938) follows the story of Caesar Kluck, a prominent soft-drink tycoon, who is discovered lifeless in the office of a major radio broadcasting corporation. Benjamin Franklin Butts, a skilled sound engineer, uncovers that Kluck's demise was caused by cyanogen gas, administered in an enigmatic manner. Harry Jones, the company's head, dismisses Butts for publicizing the incident. Kluck's extensive list of enemies includes Christina "Steenie" MacCorkle, who harbors romantic feelings for Butts; her sibling Alexander; radio announcer Dave Chapman; Tony Lisotti, the janitor who had uncovered Kluck's romantic involvement with his daughter Maria; Kluck's physician, Doctor Leonard Sylvester; and Joe Carney, a notorious racketeer who had been carrying out Kluck's illicit activities. Butts continues his investigation, using a deflated toy-advertising balloon found near Kluck's body as his sole clue. Later, Butts finds Tony's body in a closet and nearby discovers another deflated balloon, a straw, and a pin. He then gathers all the suspects and unveils the mystery.
