Summary
Mrs. Blake rents an old-fashioned residence. While she is waiting for her black maid to arrive, the lights go out, pistol shots are heard, and all sorts of weird happenings occur. Officer Jerry Nolan attributes the strange happenings to "The White Phantom," a notorious criminal terrorizing the neighborhood. When the maid arrives, she is confronted with "The White Phantom" himself! All clues lead to Curt Frazier, who is in love with Mrs. Blake's daughter, Marion. The suspense is tense and there are more thrills in this one act play than in the usual three act play.
