Synopsis:
Some thirty years ago, Greystone Inn was the scene of a rather bloody mystery. Edmund Keys went berserk with a knife and brutally murdered the two guests, then hanged himself from a rafter — or so it was believed. His body was never found — only a piece of frayed rope hanging from the beam. Answering a plea from friend Althea Blake, Margot and Lamont drive out of town to investigate the frightening occurrences. Two people were found murdered recently and the madman Keys has returned to seek a treasure hidden at the inn, left over a hundred years ago by a privateering sea captain who made Greystone his home during his declining years ashore. In a game of cat and mouse, Lamont is knocked unconscious from behind, Margot is forced to push the madman down a flight of stairs, and Althea is tortured by the madman’s laughs through the hallways. In desperation, Althea pulls a gun on Keys, forcing him to reveal a treasure map. Moments after she shoots the madman, the gun is knocked out of her hand by The Shadow, who reveals the hidden treasure — worthless eighteenth century Scrip dollars issued by the pirate government of a city on the Barbary Coast.
