The action is centered on the mysterious murder of Edward Wales after the thirteen members of the party gather together for the seance of the mysterious Madame LaGrange, a quaint Irish woman of about fifty years of age. All of the characters in the room are under suspicion, not only for the murder of Mr. Wales, but for the similar killing of his friend, Spencer Lee, a few years previous. The rest of the evening is taken up by the investigations of Tim Donahue, the cocksure, but rather reserved, in- spector. All evidence points to the heroine, Helen O'Neill, who is revealed as the daughter of Madame LaGrange. Madame LaGrange, Helen's faith- ful mother, and Will Crosby, Helen's fiance, do all they can to clear her of suspicion. By the mock seance planned and portrayed by Madame La Grange, Philip Mason, a character least suspected, makes his tragic con- fession. Thus the knot is untied, and the tragic party ends happily. 1501 R
