'Death came in the night to Miles Fortescue, millionaire Australian newspaper owner, a man whom few had cause to love and many to fear. Eminent lawyers and politicians were among his guests on that night, and, as if in anticipation, a famous police inspector. The latter is delayed, and by the time he arrives his services are required in his professional capacity. Suspect Number One is the nephew of the deceased man, his heir, who had quarrelled with his uncle on the night of his death. Pat Antell, the girl who loves him, sees the noose tighten until it seems that nothing but a miracle can save him. The miracle, an audaciously illegal one, is contrived.'
