Trama

La piccola città di Queenstead viene messa in subbuglio da una serie di lettere anonime che creano scompiglio con le loro accuse velenose su eminenti esponenti della comunità locale. Allayne, la figlia del vescovo Filber, mentre sta per sposarsi, sviene durante la cerimonia di nozze ai piedi dell'altare, dopo aver ricevuto una di quelle missive. Dalla città, vengono chiamati due investigatori che, al loro arrivo, si mettono a indagare sul caso. Improvvisamente, le cose si complicano quando un bambino, il figlio di Morton Wells, viene rapito. Gli investigatori passano la notte nella casa di Filber. Scoprono così che è proprio Allayne l'autrice delle lettere quando la sorprendono mentre ne sta scrivendo una in stato di sonnambulismo. Si rendono conto che la ragazza soffre di uno sdoppiamento della personalità, incosciente di quello che fa. Uno specialista, cui è stato affidata per essere curata, la sottopone a sedute di ipnosi che riescono a guarirla. Ora Allayne potrà finalmente anche sposarsi, liberata dai suoi incubi. Gli investigatori, intanto, catturano i rapitori e recuperano il bambino scomparso.
