A matter of blackmail forces Emerson, a college dean, to step down from his office. Will he find revenge in poisoning his accuser, Wagner, which one has tried to kill whom? Jumping the gun in his belief that he was poisoned, Wagner learns it was only a harmless case of food poisoning.
Confronting Emerson, Wagner finds he stands to be blamed for a murder if he can’t hide the body. Maybe staging a convenient accident on a stretch of snowy road will answer? Plans are complicated when Mrs Emerson insists on accompanying the desperate professor. Traffic cops have road blocks out to keep motorists safe in the coming blizzard conditions.
Somehow, Wagner gets through, and his accident goes off without a hitch. When he stumbles to the ski lodge, he tells his story. Pity is taken on the nearly frozen man, but the Whistler has the final word on the twist that is sure to bring justice. Lets just say a hasty conclusion was made, but was it in the extortion, the poisoning, the auto accident, or something else?
