The mystery of Thomas Edison's most incredible inventions leads to a globe-trotting thrill ride for a band of resourceful thieves intent on resurrecting some of history's most notorious figures. When Edison died, the machine he invented that would allow the living to communicate with the dead became little more than an elusive myth; some say it never existed, while others swear to have seen it firsthand. When a group of thieves track down Edison's remarkable apparatus, they use it to bring back legendary leaders from centuries past, and steal their priceless treasures. But just when the bandits are on the verge of becoming wealthy beyond their wildest dreams, a ruthless gangster discovers their secret, and stakes his claim on their precious spoils.
