Synopsis:
Dr. Thirteen attends a midnight auction of supposed occult items with his friend Bentley Ames. Bentley purchases a grandfather clock with a miniature devil hanging from the pendulum. The clock is delivered to Ames. The first time he winds it, the devil springs forth from the clock and kills him.

Dr. Thirteen arrives a short time later and discovers his dead friend. He winds the clock also. The devil springs forth again. Dr. Thirteen is able to fight off the devil who falls upon his own pitchfork and dies. The devil is actually the auctioneer, who wanted revenge on Ames for testifying in court against his father. Dr. Thirteen successfully debunks the devil's clock, but two men are now dead.
