Albert Reeve's operations in blackmail had long brought him a lucrative income, but there came a day when he ventured too far in his demands and one of his victims turned upon him and killed him. The police investigation that followed uncovered conclusive evidence pointing to young Tony Meadowes, a detective novelist, as the murderer. Tony had been one of Reeve's victims and when he admitted visiting Reeve's home on the fatal night to beg for mercy, the shadow of the gallows loomed threateningly near - until Inspector French stepped in to crack the iron clad alibi of another suspect and thus trap the real killer!
