Traveling on a liner headed for San Francisco, Zatara assists two government agents who are carrying plans for the Panama Canal. A fellow magician conjures a "sea ghost" against which Zatara can do nothing, until he realizes that it was summoned from the mind of Madame Kelly, who is working for a foreign government. Having narrowly prevented her from stabbing one of the agents, he turns her into a statue until they reach port.
