James Houghland (Mailes) is the inventor of a new method by which television signals can be instantaneously sent anywhere in the world.

On the night of his initial broadcast he is mysteriously murdered in the middle of his demonstration. It falls to Police Chief Nelson (Mowbray) to determine who the murderer is.
