The main character of this novel, Lord Arthur Savile, is introduced, on the occasion of an evening given by Lady Windermere, to a palmist, Septimus R. Podgers. This last reads in the palm of the hand of Lord Arthur, a funeral fate. We learn in the following chapter that it is about a crime and by various circumstances, Lord Arthur understands that he will be the author of a crime. While he wanted to marry Sybil Merton, his fiancée, he decides that he does not have the right to do so before having committed this murder.
Her first attempt involves an elderly aunt, Lady Clementina Beauchamps, who suffers from heartburn. Arthur gives him a capsule poisoned with aconitine, which he presents as a new kind of American remedy, to be taken in case of a crisis. Receiving a telegram a few weeks later, he learns of her death and returns victoriously to London, only to learn that she has bequeathed him a property. Sorting through her aunt's things, Sybil finds the poison pill, intact; thus, Lady Clem, his aunt died in a natural way and he finds himself in the need of a new victim.
After thinking about it, he contacts an anarchist friend, who gives him a bomb hidden in a clock. Arthur sends it anonymously to a distant relative, the Dean of Chichester. Unfortunately the device will prove to be defective, delighting the Dean's daughter who will spend her afternoons producing tiny and harmless explosions with the clock.
Desperate, Lord Arthur believes his marriage plans doomed when he meets Podgers, in the middle of the night, on the banks of the Thames. He then throws the palmist in the river from the top of a parapet. A few days later a newspaper announced the suicide, since this was the result of the investigation, of his victim. Now assured of the success of his business, Lord Arthur can finally get married!
A few years later, visiting the couple, Lady Windermere confides in an aside to Sybil that Mr. Podgers was a horrible and greedy impostor and that she herself had never believed in palmistry. Lord Arthur remains, for his part, convinced that he owes all the happiness of his life to palmistry.
