Synopsis: One of Kent&’s pictures holds the secret to a wealthy man&’s deathNo one has seen titan of industry John Caldwell for nine years when he hires Kent Murdock to take his picture. Caldwell is preparing a landmark announcement, and wants Boston&’s finest newspaper photographer there to document it. Murdock chafes at the stuffy environment of the Caldwell home—particularly when Caldwell&’s heir instructs him to take only one picture. Using an infrared flash, Murdock sneaks a second shot. Less than an hour later, John Caldwell is dead. Murdock makes a print of his second photo, hoping to find something that explains the strange ways of the Caldwell clan. Before he can examine it, the family&’s thugs assault him in the dark room, destroying the picture. The photo is gone, but there&’s no stopping Kent Murdock from learning what&’s rotten in the Caldwell estate.
