The fatal hour arrives as they \mo high up in the air. Suddenly, |the lights go out. A few seconds later, when they come on again, Winters is found dead, stabbed | through the heart. The weapon is | missing. The police are now closer to the | solution, for they know that one of the survivors aboard the air- plane is the killer. The detectives | cause the ship to land and herd\ |the suspects into an old mansion. | | Could the fiend be Drake, the| man who had himself been thrent- ened with death?
