The victim of a murder, Jim Cheevers (Raymond Walburn), is disposed of in a luggage trunk. Ten years later, when the trunk is opened, all that remains in the way of evidence is his skeleton. When a young attorney (George Holmes) attempts to solve the murder, he is visited by the ghost of the deceased, who helps him find the man who murdered him.[5]
