Scooter King, son of an unscrupulous spiritualist, finds a drowned man inside Harry Houdini's Burmese Torture Tank. Scooter gets caught up in the mystery, teaming with Houdini to solve the case. Lawrence sets his story perfectly in the time, with particular emphasis on the razzle-dazzle of vaudeville. Newspaper-style chapter headings give a date-by-date account of happenings in the novel and the world.
