A swindling psychic named Maximus (Claude Rains) and his wife Rene (Fay Wray) have a cheap act at a music hall where Maximus offers his phony predictions for a fee. After a series of wracking headaches change something in Maximus, he notices that when a young lady named Christine (Jane Baxter) is near, his predictions are astonishingly accurate, like his spot-on forecast of a train wreck. As his abilities become well known, he gains wealth and acceptance into elite social circles. At the same time, his marriage begins to crumble as Rene is consumed with jealousy over her husband's time spent with Christine. Maximus promises to stop using his psychic ability - but another vision materializes: a horrible accident that ends with Maximus on trial for the deaths of two hundred miners… (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
