In a bumper episode brought to you by the newfangled \"Electric Newspaper\" of 1928, Sydney and Melbourne cops carry out spectacular public raids to save white women from the evils of cocaine and African-American jazz men – and, more broadly, to amp up the war on drugs and expand the White Australia Policy. Plus: a Sydney girl makes good in the British movie Moulin Rouge; English women get the vote for a \"Flapper Election\"; and the \"Sex War\" is predicted to leave girl bosses in total control of a world of man-worms.
