Detective Alice Dodgson is summoned by Police Chief O'Hare to the futuristic city of Wonderland. O'Hare wants Alice to become Wonderland's chief detective. Alice agrees, hoping to find her sister abducted 15 years earlier. O'Hare's late for a tea party being given by Mademoiselle Milliner, one of Wonderland's patrons and socialites, who made her fortune from designing outrageous hats. He leaves Alice with Police Captain Jim Hooker, known as Capt. Hook because his left hand has been replaced by a metal hook. Alice encounters Dorothy Gale, a reporter from Kansas who's come to Wonderland following a lead on a local criminal enterprise led by gangster Edmund Tusk, known as The Walrus. Alice learns the Walrus and his partner Carpenter are luring "young oysters" -- girls -- into white slavery, their child sex trafficking emanating from Wonderland to Kansas and other locales. She decides to stay in Wonderland, suspecting her missing sister Wendy may have been one of their victims.
