Penny Nichols is the daughter of Christopher Nichols, a successful detective. Mr. Nichols often scoffs at Penny\'s ideas, but when Penny is proved to be right, Mr. Nichols has to admit that Penny has the makings of a good detective. Penny\'s best friend is Susan Altman, and Susan usually accompanies Penny in her adventures. Penny Nichols is deeply interested in her father\'s new case. 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.
