Getting back to the cliffs, he makes off, followed by Guy and Dan, who have discovered the ruse. Elmo and Edith now hurry to Guy's house, hoping to there find the bogus lease. However, the mystery man has beaten them to it, and already taken the lease from Guy's desk. Elmo is therefore unable to find it. They discover that Lucille is in the kitchen helping the cook.
