Synopsis:

In an attempt to help British detective Cyril Durwin track down Hakim, an international criminal, Margot and Lamont run into serious trouble in a funeral chapel. Three criminals murdered Hakim and shipped his body to the United States in a cleverly designed coffin in which they can smuggle contraband past customs. However, Hakim rises from his coffin after three weeks of travel and proves he is immune to bullets, driving Ernst Ober insane. After Hakim kills Norma Bowman and Steve Cassini as revenge for his “death,” Margot follows a lead from Lamont that solves the mystery. Cyril Durwin is the notorious Hakim, a master of disguise. He faked his death so he could eliminate those that double-crossed him and profit from the sale of “The Disciple of Death,” a lesser-known work of one of the immortal masters, valued at a hundred thousand dollars.
