The Walking Ghost

Diana Frost has called on the Amalgamated Insurance Company to investigate her recent inheritance of her uncle Gideon's Boston mansion. They send their agent Robert Grayson to see what the problem is. When arrives, Diana explains that she is convinced that the house has become haunted ever since her uncle's body was interned in the family mausoleum located on the property. Robert agrees to stay the night and see if the supposed haunting is real or not. He meets Gideon's former doctor.

As they are meeting, Diana spots the ghost of Gideon Frost walking across the lawn and faints. While Robert sees the ghost plain as day, the doctor denies seeing it and is convinced that Diana is hysterical. When Diana comes out of her faint, Robert agrees to solve the mystery of the ghost.

That night, Robert changes into Marvel Boy and searches around the property. He finds a secret passage way behind the fireplace. When he enters he is knocked out by an unseen assailant. When Marvel Boy comes around he finds himself in a tunnel that leads him to the inside of the family mausoleum where he finds Gideon's coffin open and empty.

Going back to the house he hears Diana screaming and catches the "ghost" trying to strangle her. Marvel Boy stops the ghost but is warned that someone is coming up behind him. Marvel Boy knocks out his other attacker and is surprised to see that it is Gideon's doctor. Marvel Boy then punches the "ghost" revealing him to be the real Gideon Frost, alive and well. When the authorities arrive, he reveals that he saved Diana's life by giving her one of his Uranium Pills making her impervious to her uncle's strangulation attempt. He then reveals that Gideon's late wife only willed him part of her fortune, leaving the rest to her niece and that both Gideon and his doctor plotted the entire ghost ruse to eliminate Diana so that they could claim the rest of the fortune.
