OVERVIEW

A series of murders occurs in the countryside. The victims are all handsome young men, and left with their blood drained from their bodies. Joe Trigger, a witness to the latest murder, is driven insane when he sees the killer. Inspector Quennell and Sergeant Allan investigate the murders. When Joe Trigger rants about a 'horrible winged creature with huge eyes', and scales are found at the crime scene, Inspector Quennell suspects that a homicidal eagle may be on the loose. The two latest victims are students of entomologist Dr Carl Mallinger, whom Quennell visits with some of the scales he has found.

When the explorer, Frederick Britewell, returns home from Africa with some samples he has found, he falls in love with Carl Mallinger's daughter. After a play performed by some of the students, the two lovers Frederick and Clare go outside and Clare transforming into a giant death's head moth, attacks Frederick.

When Inspector Quennell chances upon the dying man, the last words Quennell hears from him are, 'death's head'. Can Inspector Quennell put together the pieces of the puzzle and solve the case?
