...profitable Derby winner, further prophecies are all of death. His wife (Fay Wray) begins to think he is going mad and the public begins to think he is a menace. A solution, however, is handy. His clairvoyance possesses him only when he is in the presence of another woman (Jane Baxter), who serves as his "battery," charging him with psychic powers.
