Synopsis:
Doctor Occult is called by the police to investigate a series of bizarre murders. In each case the men died under strange conditions and were found with the initials H.D. on their foreheads. The men recently judged an art exhibit, so the fourth and final judge is under police protection. Despite their presence, the final judge is killed by an unseen wolf.

Doctor Occult releases information claiming that he was also a judge. A man then breaks into his house and steals a portrait. Further investigation leads Occult to Henri Duval, an artist at the exhibit. Duval was able to paint the deaths of the other judges and cause them to actually die. He tries to do the same to Doctor Occult, but the police arrive. Duval draws his own death and in effect commits suicide to prevent capture.
