Several people are sent mysterious invitations to attend a ghost hunt at their friend's manor on a remote island. Upon arriving, they find their friend did not send out the invitations and does not know who did, but he makes arrangements to put them all up for the night. As part of the fun, they all head to the water to see the ruins of a 100-year-old ship wreck. When they see the ghostly image of the ancient ship captain, one of the women faints; they quickly discover she's been stabbed to death. They return to the manor and attempt to call the police, but the phone line is cut before the call can go through. The killer has also incapacitated all their vehicles. Meanwhile, they hear on the news that a local doctor has stolen radium from the hospital and is on the run. Stranded on the island, more dead bodies turn up. The party are all under suspicion as they try to determine why these murders were committed and by whom.
