John Bellows, a former entertainment writer, had been missing. When he reappears at his old place of employment, he urges his ex-fellow employee and friend, Carol, to follow him to the old Palace Theater. Wary of his disheveled appearance and erratic behavior, but wanting to discover more about just where John has been, Carol agrees to go with him.
