The story begins: "There was death afoot in the darkness".

This story originally appeared in March of 1933 in the first issue of the Doc Savage Magazine. It sets the stage for the over 180 adventures that followed. In it Doc and his five unusual aides are presented with the sudden death of Clark Savage, Sr., Doc's father. The elder Savage perishes mysteriously in the jungles of Central America from something called "The Red Death", but not before sending a letter eluding to a strange legacy which awaits Doc in the Republic of Hidalgo. Attempts on his own life by strange red-fingered Mayans make Doc determined to find out what really happened to his father, and claim his legacy!
