Plot

Spiritualist Blanche Tyler and her cab-driving boyfriend encounter a pair of serial kidnappers while trailing a missing heir in California.

Medium Madame Blanche Tyler is engaged by elderly millionaire Julia Rainbird who believes she is a spiritualist. After a séance, Blanche discovers that Julia is tormented by her past, when she forced her unwed expectant sister Harriet to place her baby for adoption to avoid a family scandal. Julia promises the small fortune of $10,000 to Blanche if she finds her nephew, heir to her fortune, using her psychic powers. Blanche and her boyfriend George Lumley, an unemployed actor working as a cab driver, investigate the whereabouts of Julia's nephew. Meanwhile, greedy jeweler Arthur Adamson kidnaps wealthy people with his girlfriend Fran and requests diamonds for the ransom. When George's investigations conclude that Arthur Adamson might be the heir of Julia Rainbird, reckless Blanche gets in trouble with the kidnappers.
