The story is set at Telford Old Hall, a historic English estate haunted by the ghost of a long-dead Cavalier, Sir Byng Rawdon. The estate's prized family heirloom is the jeweled "Cavalier's Cup," which Sir Byng reportedly cursed while etching a poem into a diamond-paned window. When the cup is brought back to the manor from a bank vault, Lord "Tom" Brace attempts to protect it by guarding it in the heavily fortified Oak Room. Lord Brace wedges the heavy bolts on the door from the inside and fastens all the windows. The cup is placed in a safe, with its only key secured in the room as well.However, by morning, a seemingly impossible crime has occurred. The room remains entirely sealed, yet the cup has been removed from the safe and placed out on a table. Fearing he has become a sleepwalker, Lord Brace refuses to return to sleep, ultimately prompting his wife to call upon Scotland Yard.
