When, one day, somebody follows Mr. Smith home, they discover his address: the murderer lives at no. 21 Russel Square! There's just a small problem... 21 Russel Square is a guest house! Before long, Mr. Smith commits another murder, this time inside his own home, and directly challenges the police to try and catch him...
