Nora gets a ticket to a performance at the Castle Theatre, so she dresses and says goodnight to her employer, Mr. Arnold. A shadowy figure: a dishonet fire inspector, pulls a gun on Arnold, kills him, then wipes the gun clean, making it appear a suicide. A Policeman sees Merwin jumps out a window, and fires at him, hitting him. Merwin is subdued, and asks how the Police knew he had killed Arnold. The Policeman showed him Nora, whose dress was burnt and singed from a fire at the Castle Theatre, and whom the Police were detailed to bring home. So it was Merwin himself who confessed to the crime.
