Anzac Day, 1935. A shark in the Coogee Aquarium vomits up a human arm bearing a distinctive tattoo. Investigators identify the arm as belonging to Jim Smith, a small-time crook turned police informant, who has been missing for three weeks.
It would seem to be an open-and-shut case of a tragic shark attack, but investigators find that the arm had been severed by an axe. Suspicion falls on several suspects.
