Lord Frensham's (a nobleman who invested his life savings in Lulunga Oils) trust is abused by his nephew, Julian Reef (a gambler on the stock market) and his partner. Lord Frensham however, suspects Anthony Braid (the Twister), to be the one who is manipulating the Lulunga share price and thus is the one responsible for his ruin.

When Lord Frensham is found dead in his office, the conclusion is "suicide in a state of unsound mind". Neither Anthony Braid nor Inspector Elk of Scotland Yard are happy. Then things take a turn and the Lulunga Oil shares go up sharply in value...
