A man with a suitcase descends a flight of stairs and exits a rooming house. Almost immediately the landlady climbs the stairs to bring supper to one of her boarders, a man named James Henreid. She knocks on his door. There is no answer. She enters the room and shrieks in horror as she glimpses Henreids corpse! He has just been brutally murdered and this surely is a case which only can be solved by no-nonsense Scotland Yard Inspector Hornleigh and his devoted assistant Sergeant Bingham (who are perfectly played by Gordon Harker and Alastair Sim). The inspector and sergeant (whose relationship is reminiscent of that of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson) promptly arrive on the scene and begin hunting for evidence. The lone clue they find is Henreids missing suitcase. Before Hornleigh and Bingham are able to determine the motive for the crime and nab the culprit, they must try to prevent additional killings.
