Whilst investigating the death of a local fishmonger, a courageous navigator called Andrew Snozcumber uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, magic knife circulating throughout London. As soon as anyone uses the knife, he or she has exactly 203 days left to live.

The doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look upside-down. A marked person feels like an ill-meaning elephant to touch.

Andrew gets hold of the knife, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flash into his mind: a wiked rabbit balancing on a frozen fishmonger, an old newspaper headline about a magic accident, a hooded elephant ranting about elbows and a drinking well located in a creepy place.

When Andrew notices his hands have elephant-like properties, he realises that the curse of the magic knife is true and calls in his frend, a housekeeper called Forest DeVito, to help.

Forest examines the knife and willingly submits himself to the curse. He finds that the same visions flash before his eyes. He finds the wiked rabbit balancing on a frozen fishmonger particularly chilling. He joins the queue for a supernatural death.
