Skilled sleuth Ellery Queen (Eddie Quillan) is on the perplexing case of the Chinese Mandarin, a stolen stamp worth fifty thousand dollars that goes missing in New York after Josephine Temple (Charlotte Henry) travels there to sell it to collector Dr. Alexander Kirk (George Irving). Not long after her arrival in the Big Apple, Josephine discovers that the valuable stamp is gone. In a search for the missing artifact, a dead body is discovered in the locked library adjacent to Kirk's room. Queen investigates and uncovers a counterfeiting scam, but before he can unravel the case, he becomes the target of a would-be thief. Then, just as Ellery thinks he's got it all figured out, Kirk's niece is found mysteriously murdered in another locked room. Can Queen crack this convoluted case of thievery and double homicide?
