When Elsa Carson’s (Irene Ware) Uncle, Henry Carson (William V. Mong), is found murdered there is no shortage of suspects.

Clive).
Elsa also doesn’t know that retired Police Detective, Paul Bernard (Berton Churchill), has been on the trail of her Uncle Charles and the Butler for years, or that others might have their own motives for the murder.
