With a blank mind, he will have to solve an insoluble problem: an assassin has threatened to kill multimillionaire Gideon K. Crispin. Crispin locks up himself in the safest room in his house, with a policeman guarding the door. In spite of all precautions, someone will manage to enter without being seen, shoot at him and disappear.
