A wife confronts a strict bank rule guarding her husband Mr. Blakely's private room behind a green baize door. After a dispute over access, Mr. Blakely vanishes the next morning, leaving staff perplexed about his absence and the nature of the private chamber.

Further items include a court disbarment case, Montana’s ten-year statehood anniversary, pardons, Mormon irrigation surveys, and a police appeal with a distant, coded cry for help.
