Synopsis:
Detective John Jones is assigned to get evidence against a known criminal, Monte Fisk. John reads Fisk’s mind and learns the details of a recent murder Fisk has committed. He then tells Fisk he knows how the murder happened. Fisk sends his men to kill Jones, but using his martian powers, John escapes. Fisk goes crazy from the experience believing that he is haunted by a phantom detective, so he confesses and is taken to prison.
