Mythical Monkeys Content Summary: Gladys is the secretary of Mide, the female author of the bestseller "Cut Down That Man." On a weekend, she goes on a date as instructed by Mide and returns, but gets lost due to a heavy rainstorm and ends up at a cabin in the woods. A man welcomes her, but the next morning, she wakes up to find him gone, with only a male corpse in the cabin, and the deceased is not the man she met. Gladys is charged with murder, and Mason, as her lawyer, arrives at the cabin. He discovers a silk scarf with three mythical monkeys painted on it, inside which is a box of bullets. In the author photo on the cover of "Cut Down That Man," the three monkeys are seen fluttering in the wind.
