The daughter of a wealthy man receives a threatening letter from a mysterious organization calling itself the "Black Hand Group," threatening to kidnap her daughter unless money is paid. The famous detective Akechi Kogoro, consulted by the daughter's boyfriend, devises a plan to lure the culprit out by using a daughter's double to prevent the kidnapping.

It is a psychological suspense story in which a businessman is terrified by a mysterious letter from a man who "should have died" and seeks Akechi's help. "The Stroller in the Attic" is a story about Saburo Goda, a young man leading a boring life, who discovers the attic of his boarding house and indulges in the forbidden pleasure of peeking at the residents through a gap in the ceiling. Eventually, after secretly overhearing her neighbor boasting about a double suicide, she plots to poison him out of spite. She attempts to commit the perfect crime, making it look like a suicide, but Kogoro Akechi, who lives in the same boarding house, sees through her trick, and the story unfolds as she gets closer to the truth in this psychological suspense thriller.
