Comedian, clog dancer, comic vocalist, actor and all-round funny fellow Corney Sage is treading the boards at the Constellation in Whitechapel when he stumbles across the body of an actress outside the theatre and catches sight of the killer as he escapes.

But the murderer - a master of disguise - is slowly closing in on them and it is only a matter of time before he pounces...
