Synopsis:
Having finished a business transaction in the Caribbean, Lamont and Margot break the long return trip with a sightseeing stopover at the tiny, palm-studded island of Opago. Madame Curlew, owner of a local hotel, plots with Timkins, the beachcomber, to skillfully murder a smuggler in possession of half a million dollars in jewels and diamonds.To cover their crime, they trick a young native named Pamka to dispose of the body and pay him with a ring that supposedly summons Zanlaghora, a dwarf god who seeks murderous revenge against those who use the ring to make a death wish. Lamont quickly discovers the plot after Timkins becomes the latest victim and proves Madame Curlew hired a maniac dwarf to commit the deeds so she could keep the loot for herself.
