An unscrupulous businessman swindles his friend out of his fortune. He encounters a gypsy who tells him he will die in the presence of an Indian. He becomes paranoid and every time he sees something remotely resembling a Native American, he panics. Ultimately it wasn't an American Indian but an actual Indian that is responsible for his death as, while holding the ashes of an urn containing the remains of an Indian Ambassador, the elevator he's in crashes killing him.
