Faced with revealing the machine's secrets or allowing his family to die a horrible death at the hands of Roxor, Regent's only hope lies with the intervention of his brother-in-law, the beturbaned yogi and magician Chandu, who has the power to make men see what is not there 'even unto a gathering of twelve times twelve'...
