Synopsis
A gem stolen from the brow of a sacred Indian idol brings nothing but trouble to its possessors, especially Silas Lathrop. Constantly receiving death threats pinned by daggers, the old man finally gathers his relatives for the reading of his will. Silas and several of his relatives are killed, but in the climax an investigator masquerading as a butler (Ethelbert?) solves the mystery with the help of Eugenie Bromley.
