Student Milton Propper reports a Mu Beta Sigma initiation death of Stuart Jordan. A physician says poisoning caused death as Philadelphia detective Tommy Rankin leads the investigation.
Detective Rankin questions Mu Beta Sigma president Ted Stanton about the February pledge ceremony in which Jordan collapsed after a mystery toast. The scene reveals robes, an altar, a pin exchange, a possible poison, and thumbtack marks in Jordan’s shoes as officers preserve evidence and investigate family ties, finances, and the rogue details surrounding the victim.
