Having dressed up the last corpse in the clothes of the unemployed man, the doctor takes it to the railway track so that it can be run over by a train. Urged by the clerk, the police begin a search and the case is entrusted to the famous detective, Gordon, who is soon on the trail of the mad doctor.
