A newspaper man Hardy evades guards and inventors by using a pencil to bore a hole, disabling a light fuse, and escaping through a verandah rope. He outsmarts a Chinese guard, retrieves a master key, and joins Inspector Frost as they confront Night and his gang. The scene ends with plans to continue the pursuit.
