A planned fishing trip turns into a murder mystery when Fleming Lewis, a wealthy chemist, who is host to Craig Kennedy, Walt Jameson, Evening Star reporter, and inspector J. J. Burke, is killed by a bomb. Several suspects, each of whom has a motive for the murder, balk at Kennedy's efforts to solve the crime. But Kennedy's laboratory examinations reveal the murder was accomplished by poison blasted into Lewis' body by fragments of a glass bomb. The killer is trapped when Kennedy, aided by Jameson and Burke, baits a trap for the culprit.
