The gym was filled to capacity and the crowd enjoyed the performance. To Storm Heights, a rambling old mansion on the crest of a cliff- over- looking the Hudson, comes Sally, accompanied by her admirer, String Beane, a nervous lad, who believes in giving ghosts plenty of gangway. She is pursuing a ch-arming young actress, Gayla Grande, to demand of her why she has broken her engagement to Brother Hal. But Gayla can only plead a mysterious tragedy in her life, because of which she is on the verge of a nervous breakdown and has fled for refuge to Storm Heights, with her colored maid, l'osy May, who has de galloping creeps on account of spooksf' Sally, who has taken a detective correspondence course, soon has her hands full of detecting. Strom Heights is occupied by the eccentric spinster, Hester Strom, hei neurotic housekeeper, Minnie Brill, and her appalling but- ler, the one-eyed Peters. It proves to be haun'ted by a couple of blood- chilling phantoms: lithan Storm, a violin maker, and his gypsy bride, whom he murdered in order to entomb her golden voice in' a master-violin. 23
