The whole inspiration for this story came from a Disc Channel special on this. "Cities of the Underworld - Underground Bootleggers" Per this special, the practice of Trap Door Shanghai-ing people was in action as late as 1939 or so. I'm glad you like my version of it though. :)

Nice one! Little discussed fact about Portland's history is how people actually did get dropped down trap doors like this around the west waterfront. I'm not sure it happened as late as 1932 but hey, I still think it's cool.
