Synopsis: The neighborhood boys are curious that the new kid on the block never comes out to play.

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.
