Walter informs Jack that he is now the manager of the Prentice Detective Agency. That night Jack goes to visit his sweetheart, Wynne, the daughter of Carter, a noted scientist. She gives him her answer which he has long awaited, but informs him that he must ask the father, who at that time is strolling about the lawn, lost in meditation. The butler has asked for an hour to go and visit his aged parents. As he passes out of the grounds he sees Jack and Carter engaged in a spirited altercation. The father does not wish to give his daughter in marriage and also resents Jack's interruption. Jack returns to Wynne and bids her a curt goodbye. She goes into the lawn to seek an explanation from the old gentleman and is horrified to find him stretched on the ground, dead. Controlling herself, Wynne telephones to Jack, knowing he was the last person with the scientist. The butler returns and discovers the young couple carrying the body into the house. Believing his suspicions to he confirmed, he secures an officer and demands Jack's arrest. The young broker begs for time and summons his old friend, Prentice, who establishes the fact that the old scientist was struck by a meteoric fragment.
