  Thirteen years ago the host of a dinner party died at the table after naming the person who would inherit his house. Twelve of the 13 invited guests were on hand, with the heir being the only absentee. Now, after the mansion had been closed up all these years, bodies start showing up at the table in the same chair that each was in at the dinner. Phil (Lyle Talbot), a playboy sleuth, is called in to solve the case and bring the hooded killer to justice.

Cosmo chases after Clara, hoping to change her mind, and Marion shows up with her ghost dog to help him out. Excellent special effects, especially for the 1930s.
