Synopsis: In the mountains, Carduey shoots Tracy with a rifle, thinking he's Morin Plenty. She saves his life, but Tracy arrests her and takes her to the local jail, where Morin Plenty is held. Tracy takes Morin back to the city and works to solve the murder of the Clipso Brothers. After that case is closed, Tracy gets involved in the case of Claude Crystal, who cleaned out his employer's safe of $200,000 and set off for London. However, he didn't get there and Tracy questions his wife, who is suddenly paying off all their creditors.
