Paul Kirk's client Mr. Rolfe lives in a lonely old mansion beside the ocean. He believes he's been seeing Fish-Men prowling around his property. It's been going on for weeks, and Rolfe is freaked out about it. Kirk investigates, and it turns out to be a fake, a hireling in a fish suit, sent around by the adjoining estate owner, Mr. Cranway, who had hoped to buy Rolfe's property cheaply. After a brief scuffle, in which Kirk gets a bullet wound in his shoulder, the villains are beaten down and turned over to the sheriff.
