Upon arrival, Storey and her secretary, Miss Brickley, interrupt a séance led by the oily Professor Ram Lal, a supposed mystic who claims to read the future in a crystal ball.
Before the disgruntled guests can disperse, Ram Lal collapses and dies in the darkened room—apparently from heart failure. But Storey is certain it was murder.
