When every last one of the Ohippi hydro-electric power plants are
destroyed by flood, Rhys Jardin is one of many who loses everything.
But somehow Jardin's longtime partner, finance magnate Solly Spaeth,
manages to come out of it wealthier than before, thanks to a
brilliant-if-underhanded move to sell off his shares before disaster
struck. Spaeth has more than enough money to rebuild the plants, but
why should he, with the law on his side? The only problem is that
Spaeth's son Walter, an idealistic journalist, is in love with
Jardin's daughter. When he pleads for his father's mercy, he finds
himself disinherited from the will. Walter enlists the help of Ellery
Queen, a mystery author in town to try his hand at screenwriting for
Hollywood, to secretly buy back the auctioned Jardin-family belongings
on their behalf. But before Queen can walk away, Solly Spaeth turns up
dead. Now embroiled in a real-life mystery, Queen must figure out a
way to weed through the suspects, all the while proving himself a
player in Hollywood. Unfortunately for Queen, Spaeth's extreme wealth
can only be matched by the number of his enemies.
