Synopsis:
While taking a walk outside the House of Mystery, Cain is followed by a shadow. He runs into the house and bolts the door. He then hears a crash on the roof. The shadow and crash came from a sky diver who has landed on the roof. The man is Tony Saunders who claims to have jumped from his plane in California. Cain informs the man that he is in Kentucky.

Saunders tries to use the phone, but it is dead. He tries to flag down a car, but it passes him. Saunders is forced to stay the night at the House of Mystery. In the middle of the night two men show up and take Saunders with them. The next morning Cain hears that Saunders died the day before when his parachute failed to open.
