Philo Stern, on his deathbed, has confessed to murdering one Robert James Allen and burying the body in the cellar of the Allen family home. However, Cosgrove James knows that Stern is lying, because he, Cosgrove, is Robert James Allen, and is very much alive. So why is Stern lying? and whose bones lie in the cellar? Cosgrove assumed a new identity years earlier, after accidentally killing one Burt Jones, who had broken into his father's cabin and was taking his belongings. Now a famous mystery writer, Cosgrove faces a dilemma. If the world believes Philo Stern's confession, then Robert James Allen is dead, and he, Cosgrove can go on living a rich carefree life.
