Doctor’s Hoax Bends Toward Captive Plot At Mackinac
Captor Woodsey reveals a scheme to extract a fortune by returning Mrs. Ward to her husband while pretending she is dead. He keeps her prisoner in a grotto on an island and plans a long wait, while two sailors report to Ben Stobie’s pursuers they are aiding him. The pursuit narrows as a Lake Patrol captain questions the returning sloop and possible links to Old Mystery.
