Magician Rex Rolands recruits Syd and Nigel to pose as his assistants to search the magic house installed in the huge Atlantic City home mansion of the Great Brodsky, who presumably stole the 'cursed' Hungarian royal scepter which disappeared during his performance at Habsburg emperor Franz's court. The relic hunters must deal with manager Malcolm Zales, who has a crush on Syd, the other resident/visiting magicians and the mansion's build-in traps, while an insider seeks to kill them.
