Madrid, at the end of the 19th century. In order to go

out with a singer, a superstitious young man with a fondness for gambling goes to a casino, and while playing roulette, accepts the help of the ghost of a dead archeologist. In exchange, the ghost asks the man to find out who killed him and to protect his niece Inés, who is also in danger. The young man has to solve the mystery of the Tower of the Seven Hunchbacks, an underground citadel where a gang of hunchbacks meets to plan their crimes.
