The Hole in the Wall Synopsis

Madame Mysteria, a fashionable medium, is killed in a train crash, and her three larcenous assistants-The Fox, Limpy Jim, and Deagon-decide not to identify the body, because the medium had extracted valuable information from her wealthy clients.

Jean accepts the role, providing they aid her in kidnapping Mrs. Ramsey's grandson as an act of vengeance. Meanwhile, Jean's former fiancé, reporter Gordon Grant, investigates the connection between Madame Mysteria and the robberies of her former clients. After he uncovers the swindlers and the missing Ramsey baby, Jean is cleared by a statement from Mrs. Ramsey and is reunited with Gordon.
