(3 of 3)

And now the long duel begins. Simmons artfully divulges her knowledge, and is quickly promoted from maid to housekeeper and allowed to keep the wife's jewels. One evening she goes out in the fog to mail a letter. Following after, Granger steals up and brains her with his walking stick. At least, he thought it was Jean. It is quite a shock when Jean walks in the door and he realizes he has killed the wrong woman. And so it goes, through plot and ingenious counterplot, until justice—which has been happily nodding through most of the picture—rouses sufficiently to give the culprits their just deserts. It seems a pity, since Granger and Simmons have managed to make their evildoers a couple of the year's most attractive film people.
