On the train he gets into a row over a poker game. In the mix-up he grabs, by mistake a suitcase belonging to Gentleman Harry, a crook. During his absence, his wife learns of a daring theft in Stevens' home, to which Henry was supposed to be going, and. finding her husband knows nothing of this, she becomes suspicious.
