Mystery / Adventure Setting: A rainy, coastal town with an old maritime museum.

The story begins with the local maritime museum receiving a cryptic, antique package. Inside is a mummified, black, severed hand wearing a tarnished silver ring—the "Black Hand" of Captain Morvan, a 17th-century pirate rumored to have cursed anyone who stole his treasure. Soon after, the museum curator disappears, and a series of "accidents" plague the town, including a phantom ship appearing in the fog.

The detective duo unmasks the villains just as the lighthouse trap is triggered. They escape the collapsing building with the curator, the real treasure (which was hidden in the lighthouse, not the ocean), and the ring. The curse is broken, the town is safe, and the Black Hand is returned to a secure, scientific exhibit.
