Duel of Deceit and Arrest at Secret Society Meeting
Rudolph von Vogelsheimer is arrested for holding a secret meeting and conspiring to murder Baron Max von Kirchofen, after a police raid disrupts the gathering. A false will implicates Rudolph, leading to a long imprisonment, while Bel-like M. Duval evades law and wins a reward that ends up with the croupier. Max weds Elsie Catherlow as summer fades, after prior assurances.
