As they take a drink in the room a man bursts in and holds them at gunpoint and beats them, he asks for their money and valuables and leaves. The woman explains that she is a secretary and is engaged to be married to a very wealthy man, if they report the crime both of their images will be corrupted and their families would leave them. Instead they agree to leave and never speak again. Soon the detective receives demands from the masked criminal demanding more money but soon he runs out of money. He decides to go to the office that the woman works at to ask if she can help him but when he asks for her another woman with the same name replies.
