'This is a mystery story, constructed on lines reminiscent of "Seven Keys to Baldpate" and other pieces of the kind. Phil Smith plays effectively an important role as a business man, John Moon, who has made a hobby of his interest in ghosts, and has come to this old shed in the hope of meeting one. Donalda Warne and John Maitland appear as two lovers, seeking to elope, and John Cameron impersonates Captain Sturdy, who is concerned in the mystery. There are three other characters, apparently tramps, but one of them sets himself to the task of conjuring up a ghost, and engages the keen attention of Moon by his graphic description of the supernatural visitor.'
