After a night at the Empire music hall, the narrator suspects his neighbour Edwin Lawrence at Imperial Mansions of cheating at cards. That same night something comes through his window, and by morning Lawrence is dead in his flat, leaving the narrator, the shrewd Dr. Hume and the suspicious Mr. Morley to decide whether the killer was human or a demon goddess.
