Plot summary

In Boston in 1868, the 16th Phantom is waiting for passage across the Atlantic when he saves a professor from being beaten up by two thugs. Professor Murray is responsible for seven Mayan dolls at the Boston Museum and a devilish gentleman, mr Belalcazar, insists that they are sold to him. In fact, Belalcazar will stop at nothing to get his hands on the dolls, since the dolls once were used in sacrificial rituals by the Mayans.
