Synopsis:
Lamont and Margot attempt to solve an insurance racket perpetrated by a seemingly kindly couple named the Baileys who traveled to a small upstate town named Taylorville. The Baileys hire a maid, lock her in a cold room equipped with cold showers, and wait until the girl dies of pneumonia. As the benefactors they cash in on the insurance and move to a new town. A mortician catches on to the scheme and attempts to blackmail Mr. Bailey, only to become the Baileys’ latest murder victim. Margot answers a classified and, posing as new maid Margaret Flynn, infiltrates and uncovers the truth. The Shadow sneaks into the house to get Margot out before she gets ill while he tricks Mr. Bailey into writing a confession. Mrs. Bailey attempts to stop her husband but fails. Margot comes away from the case with only mere sniffles.
