    E' quasi mezzanotte, e un noto giornalista lavora alla propria opera nel silenzio del suo studio londinese. Ma viene interrotto da una donna avvolta in una pelliccia di zibellino, che appena entrata nella stanza si accascia su una poltrona... e mentre lo scrittore va a chiamare il medico della porta accanto, al dodicesimo rintocco della vecchia pendola la misteriosa signora viene assassinata. Inizia così una delle più difficili e ingarbugliate indagini degli uomini di Scotland Yard, che presto si troveranno di fronte a sviluppi del tutto inattesi...
