- One night, in a dense London fog, Lord Montague barely survives being strangled by an unknown assailant. At Scotland Yard, the shaken Montague says he remembers little of the attack. When Detective Sir James Rumsey shows him the names of five recent murder victims, Montague breaks down, as the five men were friends of his, all members of his World War I regiment. Now perceiving a pattern in the murder, Sir James asks Montague to invite the surviving members of the regiment to his home in the hope of solving the crimes. While they are assembled at his mansion, which Montague explains has occasionally been the dwelling of a mysterious green ghost, the apparently lifeless body of Major Mallory, who was badly scarred by shrapnel during the war,is discovered. Dr. Ballou, the suitor of Mallory's sister Lady Vi, confirms that the man is dead. Later that evening, Lady Efra, the daughter of the late Marquis of Cavendar, who was thrown out of the regiment for misconduct, arrives with her father's will, which divided his vast fortune equally between Efra and the members of the regiment. During the night, all of the members of the regiment except Montague are found dead in their rooms, while Mallory's body has suddenly disappeared. In order to solve the crime, a séance is staged to invoke the dead members of the regiment. During the séance, they hear the men singing "Auld Land Syne" and Efra screams that she can see all of the officers. In her hysteria, she admits that she used Mallory to kill them all. At that moment, Mallory breaks into the room and stabs Efra to death, then kills himself. Sir James and Ballou then explain that they had been working together to unmask Efra as the killer after Ballou determined that Mallory was not dead but in a catatonic state. Abdoul, Efra's faithful guardian, then reveals what led to the murders: by leaving Efra only half of his money and giving the rest to the regiment and making them her guardians, Cavendar hoped to harvest his lifelong hatred by causing the regiment to fight over his money and his daughter. Efra, who had been taught to hate by her father, then becomes obsessed with killing them and gaining all of the money for herself. Because Mallory had once been her lover, she easily convinced him to do her bidding. Using mind control, she even forced Mallory to pen a confession to the murders that she herself had planned. The members of the regiment invited to Mallory's house now are revealed to be alive, having acted as accomplices in Sir James's scheme to unmask Efra.
