Synopsis:
Doiby Dickles receives a letter informing him that he has been named in the will of his ancestor Wymore Dickles. Doiby and several of his distant relatives meet at Wymore's mansion which has been empty for 100 years. Shumm, the attorney who has held the property in trust, reads the will which gives each of the five family members an equal share of the estate.

After the will is read, Rafe Dickles is killed when an axe falls on his head. The others suspect murder and have their theory confirmed when Bedford Dickles is also killed. Green Lantern has followed Doiby to the mansion and helps him investigate. Cissie Smith, the caretaker's daughter, discovers that the murder weapons were wired to the piano which was played by Vara Dickles. She is accused of murder, but Green Lantern reveals the real killer, Shumm.

The attorney had used the Dickles money to speculate on the market and had little left. He killed the Dickles family members to cover up his crime. Green Lantern apprehends Shumm and forces him to confess. Doiby then receives what is left of his inheritance.
