Until her estranged Uncle dies suddenly, leaving her his private detective agency, and laboratory, in his will.Clara couldn't become a detective, could she?The decision is made for her when one of her uncle's old clients comes to her for help with a case surrounding the local picture house and invites Clara to see the latest show, before they discuss the details.But during the film, a fire suddenly engulfs the picture house, with tragic consequences. It seems at first an accident, but Clara soon begins to question if it was in fact a carefully orchestrated murder.
