Jean Maze, a young woman who is looking forward to the bazaar, is asked to play the part of a fortune teller. On the day of the bazaar, however, she makes a macabre discovery when she finds the body of a man named Marden, a business rival of her brother-in-law, in her fortune teller's tent. The police are called and begin their investigation, but Jean Maze is not content to wait for them. She starts to do some theorising of her own and soon finds herself caught up in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the killer.
