Synopsis:
In Graham House, high on a hill overlooking a reservoir, Lamont Cranston and Margot Lane accept an invitation to solve a twenty year old murder. Gerald Graham witnessed his brother, Philip, a paralytic who used to amuse himself in his wheelchair with an old music box, crash through a window and plunge to his death. Gerald’s wife was at the piano fifteen minutes later, when the chandelier slipped its chain and fell, crushing her to death. Gerald rushed out to the edge of the dam and opened the sluice gates, creating a giant waterfall, and threw himself in. His finger and a few clothes were all that remained from the incident. Now, twenty years later, the death scenes are re-enacted. Unable to fathom the return of ghosts of the past, Lamont sets out to solve the mystery. Jane Howell, the servant of the house, was never away during the dreadful murders — she was really at the estate and resorted to murder. Having survived the waterfall, Gerald returned after twenty years to stage the murders with the assistance from a couple hobos in an effort to force a confession from her.
