Twenty years ago, a little accident with a guillotine trick left magician Duke Duquesne's wife/on-stage assistant without a head... and their baby daughter, Cassie, without a mother. Now, The Great Duquesne may have another trick up his sleeve. He dies, leaving Cassie a sizable inheritance if she spends seven nights in his spooky mansion.
