After discovering their hideaway beneath a mausoleum, the Spirit uses a tear-gas bomb and confronts the gang on a rooftop, where a intense battle ensues involving police and criminals fighting over a stolen diamond.

Flatfoot Burns

Detective Flatfoot Burns puts his prized two-lens crime-solving camera to the test when a burglar strikes at a local hock shop, prompting Burns to stake out the scene and prove his photographic detective work actually works. When the crook arrives with designs on stealing unclaimed merchandise—and camera equipment in particular—Burns discovers his suspect shares an unexpected passion, leading to an amusing clash of amateur photographers. It's a humorous case that shows even the most hardened criminal can be disarmed by a shared hobby.
