William Magee (Richard Dix) is a writer struggling to finish his new novel. Convinced solitude will vanquish his writers block, he escapes to the Baldpate Inn, a remote mountain hideaway. But his privacy is repeatedly trampled by a steady parade of troublemakers hunting for $200,000 hidden somewhere in the inn. And, though his deadline is fast approaching, Magee finds himself inescapably lured into the intrigue, which soon includes a mysterious murder.
