Synopsis:
A double of actor Gary Abel begins making large purchases around town. When King Standish visits the real Abel, he claims no knowledge of the purchases. Suspecting trouble the King later returns and stops an assassin from killing Abel. He forces the man to talk, who admits that the Witch is behind the crimes.

Disguised as Abel, the King visits the Witch. However, he is overpowered by two thugs and left for dead. The Witch and the Gary Abel double then prepare to take over Abel's life and money. They are shocked to find the real actor is still alive. The King then frees himself and sends the police to arrest the crooks.
