Description:  Tony Tremaine spent sixteen years on death row and was ultimately executed for the murder of his sister, Vicki Tremaine, who was at the time his only living family. Tony, aka the Amazing Tremaine, was a magician who specialized in escape artistry. Tony was destined for professional greatness, despite languishing in his magic act at a local club which featured Vicki as his assistant. Vicki on the other hand, had a possessive attitude toward her brother and wanted to continue only working at the club without moving the act forward. Vicki is found stabbed to death on stage during one of their routines that used a dagger, the dagger being the murder weapon on which solely had Tony's fingerprints. While on death row, Tony shut out the rest of the world, including his girlfriend, Didi. Despite Tony professing to be an atheist, Othniel sends Tony back to the time just prior to Vicki's murder, Tony as the club's security guard, Phil Barlow. As Phil, Tony's task is to find Vicki's true murderer so as to be able to stop Vicki's murder altogether and thus save Tony's own life. Smith knows that the murder was an inside job. The suspects include Didi with whom Vicki had a longstanding feud regarding Vicki and Tony's relationship; Jacques, a fellow magician at the club; Wally Phipps, the club owner and emcee; and Carothers, the stage janitor. This assignment is equally difficult for Smith, who is attracted to Vicki, the woman with the dazzling smile.
