The narrative centers around the mysterious murder of a miserly old man named Henry Schulte, whose background and financial dealings create intrigue in the village of South Norwalk, Connecticut. The story follows his servant, William Bucholz, who becomes the prime suspect in the investigation, as well as his relationships with the townsfolk and the unfolding suspense surrounding the crime. The opening of the novel sets the stage for the plot through a detailed portrayal of the village of South Norwalk and the arrival of Henry Schulte, introducing him as an eccentric and reclusive character known for his peculiarities and miserly behavior. On a fateful night, after returning from a trip to New York, Schulte is violently murdered, with Bucholz leaving in a panic to alert the townspeople.
