A fake psychic suddenly turns into the real thing when he meets a young beauty.

On board a train the mind-reader Maximus and his wife Rene attempt their mind-reading act, but fail miserably. Suddenly, Maximus feels that the train will crash and urges those aboard to get off. A few minutes later, the train crashes and his reputation is redeemed. He returns to the English music hall circuit and picks the winner of a horse race and predicts a tunnel explosion. It then becomes apparent that Maximus is clairvoyant only when in the presence of Christine, the daughter of a wealthy newspaper publisher. While this temporarily interferes with his marriage, Maximus and his wife are reconciled in the end.
