A business man gets involved with a deal involving poison gas. When he is inexplicably found dead in his office under suspicious circumstances, Detective Street is called in on the case. The sharp tongued detective Street looks for blatant and obvious clues, while he often misses what is going on beneath the surface in this mysterious case. Mr. Wong, a well-known detective who was acquainted with the victim, begins to notice clues that Detective Street overlooks. The body count begins to mount as the partners of the dead business man also begin to die under strange circumstances. Mr. Wong must keep his mind open in this thriller when the obvious suspect first seems guilty, then innocent as other suspects turn up, including a sinister Baron and a Countess.
