Valaanpyyntialus on juuttunut ahtojäihin hyisellä Jäämerellä. Jokin riivaa kapteenin mieltä, ja kauhistunut miehistö raportoi vertahyytävistä valitushuudoista, joita kantautuu pimeältä jäälakeudelta. Mitä tapahtuu villin lännen öykkärimäiselle revolverisankarille, kun hän piiloutuu vaanimaan vihamiestään salaperäiseen laaksoon, jossa rehottaa eksoottisia kasveja? Avomereltä tavataan ajelehtimasta Marie Celeste -laiva, jonka miehistö ja matkustajat ovat kadonneet. Vaikuttaa siltä kuin he olisivat kesken askareidensa kadonneet tyhjään ilmaan. Äkkirikastunut moukkamainen liikemies ostaa kartanon, jossa on kaikki hienoston tykötarpeet. Yhtä vain puuttuu: talossa ei ole omaa kummitusta. Sellainenhan pitää ostaa! Nämä ja muut kertomukset tässä kirjassa edustavat Arthur Conan Doylen (1859-1930) vähemmän tunnettua puolta. Sherlock Holmes -tarinat ovat näet vain pieni osa hänen laajasta tuotannostaan, joka käsittää muun muassa lehtiartikkeleita, historiallisia romaaneja ja myös näitä hyytäviä kertomuksia, jotka sisältävät yliluonnollisia aineksia.
