A young lawyer, Jeff Ryder, and his friend, Kent, house guests of steel king Stanley in his Maine home for the preparation of a new will are among these present at Stanley's death. The widow, the secretary, even a butler are among the suspects; the incidence of fog and foghorns, an elevator, a hidden bathing cove, the widow's lover and down east loyalty -- everything makes Jeff's verdict hard to arrive at -- but irrevocably stick. Teney.
