When a hardened mobster named Furey rejoins his old gang, they hatch a scheme to pull off a string of robberies while simultaneously framing the Magnet—the mysterious vigilante whose uncanny ability to identify criminals has made him a thorn in their side. Trading their guns for ghostly costumes and a movie projector, the gang masquerades as the supernatural Hooded Horsemen, staging elaborate crimes designed to turn Inspector Spagle's suspicion away from the real killers and onto Grant Halford himself. As the Magnet races to clear his name and stop the hooded criminals before another robbery strikes, he discovers that Furey's plan runs far deeper than simple extortion.
