The story begins on the night of the Ashton Summer Festival. Bernice Krueger takes a photograph of several mysterious people (later revealed to be several of the villains). She is arrested thereafter on false charges of [[prostitution]] and jailed. Marshall Hogan, her boss, visits her the next morning to try to bail her out. The chief of police, Alf Brummel, claims that it was all a "misunderstanding"; Marshall leaves without believing, and later discovers that his daughter Sandy's college professor is teaching Eastern mysticism.
