During his travels searching for "impossible but true" stories, Roy Raymond encounters a dying man who passes him a cursed ruby.

When the robbery fails, one of the crooks is accidentally killed, which seems to validate the curse.
After the crooks try to kill Roy again, he examines the ruby a second time. This time he discovers that the ruby is hollow.
