During a masked party Stephen Kester ( Claude Gillingwater) is found dead in the closet of his room, three stab wounds in his back. Suspicion falls on everyone at the party, especially Kester's granddaughter Jean ( Shirley Grey) and her fiancé Cliff Miller ( William Bakewell), who fled the house after disabling all of the other cars and cutting the phone lines. As Inspector Crofton ( John Wray) and Detective Regan (Ben Hendricks Jr.) investigate they are shadowed and helped along by a mystery writer, Bill Tracy ( Charles Starrett).
