Fixup novel merging two novellas, "Double Jeopardy" and "The Square-Cube Law" from ''Thrilling Wonder Stories'' 04/52 and 06/52 respectively.

The story features Pratt's detective hero George Helmfleety Jones in two adventures dealing with the ramifications of a newly discovered matter-duplication process. The first concerns a case of industrial espionage involving the bootlegging of duplicated drugs, and includes Jones's marriage to a duplicated woman. The second is a locked-room mystery in which a fortune is somehow stolen from a sealed, pilotless cargo plane.
