They suspect Ezra's uncle is a vampire so they follow him one night and observe him kill someone and drain their blood into the jug he keeps in the carton. Now that they know he is the vampire they figure he doesn't let Ezra come out for fear of speaking to the authorities. The children resolve to stake the vampire through the heart the next day, which they do, only to discover Ezra sleeping peacefully in a coffin in the cellar with the drained jar of blood next to him.
