Un homme est abattu par un inconnu lors d'une représentation de gala dans un théâtre. Sur le mort, on trouve une lettre menaçante avec l'avertissement: « Si l'argent n'est pas déposé avant cinq heures, vous êtes un homme mort. » La lettre porte un signe mystérieux, un cercle rouge. Il se trouve que des crimes similaires se produisent à travers l'Europe et que l'auteur de ces lettres semble être à Londres. L'inspecteur Parr est chargé de clarifier l'affaire. Pendant ce temps, Mr. Birdmore, qui a également reçu des lettres de menaces du Cercle rouge, est protégé par le détective privé Derrick Yale. Mais ni Yale ni l'inspecteur Parr ne peuvent empêcher Birdmore de devenir une victime du criminel impitoyable.

Cockney comedian Syd Walker plays it more or less straight as Scotland Yard Detective Inspector Davidson, at present trying to determine who murdered the much-hated Count Mattoni (Leslie Perrins). The dilemma isn't that the Detective is suffering from a lack of witnesses. In fact, four different people come forth to confess to the killing – each of them with plenty of motive and opportunity.
