Waste Paper

During an investigation into the brutal killing of a cleaning woman in a commercial complex, a lady detective discovers that the deceased was actually living a double-life.

While looking into the violent murder of a janitor at an office building, a female cop finds out the dead woman was secretly leading two different lives.

Detective Gertrude Millrose is finally given, by her sexist superiors, a chance to investigate a murder. Captain Roger Williams considers the killing of a chairwoman a routine case and allows Millrose just one day to work on it. But he is forced to give her an extension when the clues she turns up—a noisy vacuum cleaner, unexplained donations of money and the chairwoman’s interest in waste paper—transform the case into one of more than passing interest.
