Colonel March is called in regarding strange activities of a prayer book dating from the 15th century.
The author was involved in the dark arts. Wesley the Oxford Don believes that the book has been shifting about.
There are also two young men vying for the attention of lovely student Nancy. One of them also accuses the middle aged Wesley of eyeing her up.
When one of the student is found dead, the other hot headed Ned (Anthony Newley) is accused of murder.
The prayer book also disappears. Colonel March brings in a real life magician to help solve the case.
The introduction of real life magician Chan Canasta is mildly diverting.
There is no real mystery here as to the culprit. They even say that they will come into some money soon. Hinting heavily that it will be from the sale of the prayer book.
