After being tucked away at his mountain retreat, manic Dr. Farrington (Frank Ball) finally reveals the invention he's been working on -- the mysteriously dubbed VXO Accumulator -- to his friend Judge Folger (Phillip Smalley). The machine can harness the sun's powerful rays, making it extremely valuable, and dangerous. Next thing you know, the judge turns up dead -- and Farrington is nowhere to be found in this suspenseful whodunit.
