Socialite Jefferson Monk (George Macready) is convinced he is going to be killed by a mysterious secret society who want to cut his head off! He is followed by a strange man with a bag ready for his head. He employs detectives Jack Packard (Jim Bannon) and Doc (Barton Yarborough) to protect him...
The detectives begin to unravel this strange case, with suspicion falling on the people around Monk including his wife (Nina Foch) who has been paralysed... or has she? But is Monk telling the whole truth here?
This is a curious little film livened up by the secret society, a creepy atmosphere and the strange and sinister characters throughout. Nothing is quite as it seems and a lot of plot is squeezed into a short film, and it works really well. The film was based on an episode of a popular radio serial.
