Plot
In the heart of the magic industry, Don Gallico, an undisputed maestro of illusion and trick design, dreams of taking center stage as Gallico the Great. Behind the glitz and glamour, he meticulously crafts illusions that are sold by his employer, the cunning Mr. Ormond, to renowned performers, including the illustrious magician, Rinaldi. Gallico's brilliance doesn't end at illusions; he is also a master of disguise and mask design, skills that will soon prove to be crucial.
Eager to break free from the shadows, Gallico launches his own stage show, a spectacle of his most stunning and masterful illusions. However, his debut is abruptly halted mid-performance by Ormond, who serves him a court injunction. The crafty businessman had long ago secured an exclusive contract with Gallico, claiming ownership of any illusions created by the virtuoso.
This devastating betrayal ignites a flame of revenge within Gallico, targeting those who have wronged him. His list includes Ormond, his ex-wife Claire who is now Ormond's wife, and Rinaldi, Ormond's business partner who profits off Gallico's ingenious magic tricks. As Gallico's vengeance takes a murderous turn, a clever young detective, Lt. Alan Bruce, steps into the fray.
Bruce employs a novel identification technique, fingerprints, to track down the killer. The stage is set for a thrilling game of cat and mouse, with illusions, masks, and magic tricks serving as the backdrop. As the line between illusion and reality begins to blur, the audience is left wondering: who will have the last trick up their sleeve?
