Tricks and more tricks spot this double level story for the court room scenes alternate with the first person narrative of Lewis Mountain, a magician whose young bride had become entangled with a counterfeiting set-up. Her murder, after that of her uncle, sends Mountain to track down the killer and to hand tool a frame from which his victim cannot escape for, although he is not guilty of the killing with which he is charged, he is sentenced for life, never knowing exactly why. Loaded.
