Arkwright's daughter Ione inherits the estate and Marco succeeds in poisoning her the same way, using a slower-acting drug. Wishing to avoid suspicion, he calls in struggling young doctor Lynn Darmon. Ione is languid and sickly with no apparent cause. The case puzzles Lynn greatly, and when he learns from the nurse, Marion Hill, that she suspects crooked work, he determines to keep his eyes open. He finds a volume in the library on Asian poisons and immediately connects the poison idea with Nogi, Marco's Indian servant. Discovering that Marco is trying to get Ione to make a will in his favor while she is under the influence of the poison, Lynn determines on quick action. With two detectives, he follows the villain to Mussen, a lawyer's, arriving just in time to prevent the property from being turned over to Marco. The detectives rush in, and after a struggle, Marco is arrested. At the trial Nogi kills himself with a poisoned needle while his partner is sentenced to a long term in prison. Ione, freed from the poison inoculations, soon recovers, and Lynn receives his reward from Ione for all that he has done to solve the mystery of Brayton Court.
