When Dr. 13 and Marie Leeds visit their friends Harry and Rosemary in San Francisco during the Chinese New Year, they find that their friends have been killed.

The Phantom Stranger works to capture the culprit, a man worshiping Ching Hi Fu, who has been trying to destroy modern buildings which he believes are an effrontery to his Chinese heritage. Although the Phantom Stranger manages to capture the man, Dr. 13 and he fail to learn how he managed to cause the destruction he was responsible for.
