Leo Hewitt - gifred crystal worker - has secretly made her way into Lord Delbridge's private museum to find a relic stolen from her family. But psychic mesmerist, Thaddeus Ware, is on the same errand. He's accustomed to fearful reactions from others but, instead, Leona exerts a rather hypnotic power over the hypnotist himself. And, determined to keep hold of the crystal, she manages to give him the slip.
