Plots(1)

The world's most valuable jewel - a giant star sapphire said to be cursed - has been stolen from an empress's corpse where it laid in place of her treacherous heart. The collector with whom the gem ends up receives a death threat shortly thereafter, and he immediately suspects that the curse is at work. Turning to Detective Wong (Boris Karloff) for help, the man shows him both the stone and the threatening note, which reveals clues to the sender's identity. But before any headway into the case can be made, the jewel collector is mysteriously murdered at a party during a game of charades. Though it appears the victim's secretary is to blame, the killer had made his deadly move in darkness - the lights went out just before the sinister act was committed. True to form, the butler and maid are among a long list of suspects. Wong must sort out everyone's secrets, figure out the facts, and uncover the motive to unveil the killer's identity.
