His life takes a dramatic turn when he meets George Maitland, who, despite feigning illness, seeks the doctor's connection to Gwen Darrow, whom he has been infatuated with since their first meeting at an art exhibition. The plot thickens during a social gathering at the Darrow residence, where John Darrow is suddenly incapacitated and cries out that he has been stabbed. Following his death, his daughter Gwen is convinced of foul play, leading to a detailed investigation as Maitland and the narrator investigate the peculiar circumstances surrounding her father’s mysterious death.
