The famous female detective is called in to investigate what seems like an open-and-shut case. A rich industrialist has been found shot...and all the evidence points to the murder having been committed by his vastly wealthy young ward. By what could have been her motive? Madame Storey sets off to the scene of the crime...and finds that all is not as it first seemed.
