Synopsis:
Sandman’s friend Morgan Peale is killed after purchasing the cursed idol Gori. Sandman meets the salesman and two other interested buyers after Peale’s death.

One of the buyers, Ryle takes possession of the idol and is gassed in his house that evening. Sandman stops crooks from killing him and follows them back to a warehouse. The other buyer, Janos Mura is there, but he has been set up by Ryle. Sandman sees through the deception and captures Ryle for the murder of Peale.
