It would have been set in San Francisco with the titular villain being a three thousand year old magician with a Nubian henchman who sets his sights on a woman named Helen Dorrington and intends to kill her because she resembles his former lover who betrayed him and has been doing that for centuries when he hasn't been hunting. Helen's love interest and Professor Whemple, who would be split into Dr. Mueller and Sir Joseph Whemple, would ultimately save the day.
