AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Captain Duncan Maclean, played by Edward Howell, is blind—a thing he is often thankful for—because, as he says, eyes are deceptive. Particularly was he thankful when he met beautiful Marcia Fillmore (Margaret Christensen). When the lovely Marcia appeals to him for help, she tells him she is being blackmailed by a former lover and that she fears her husband will murder the blackmailer—Captain Maclean promises to help her. When murder does occur, Captain Maclean is ready to solve the mystery, not only of Walter Crane’s death, but also of an unfortunate "accident" which had happened three years before.'
