Doris has been captured by the Hidden Hand and his henchmen and is suspended over a bed of boiling lime. Ramsey starts to open the door which will release the rope by which Doris is suspended and allow her to be burned to death. His intuition warns him it is a trap. Instead of entering by the door he smashes in a window and jumps into the room. The Hidden Hand, not to be foiled, rushes to the door and opens it, releasing the rope that sustains Doris. Ramsey grasps the girl just as she is about to drop into the lime, and routes the Hidden Hand and his henchmen after a vigorous struggle. Detective Flatt, who has obtained evidence that Scarley is stealing from the estate, instead of arresting the physician, combines with him to beat Ramsey on the case. Doris returns to her home with Ramsey, and is talking with him in her living room. Verda sees them put the packet into the safe. Detective Flatt, walking in the woods of the estate, is attacked by the Hidden Hand and his henchmen. Flatt overcomes them and takes the locket from the Hidden Hand's pocket. He goes to the Whitney home anxious to settle the question of who is the girl of the prophecy by opening the packet with the locket. Doris and WONDERFUL CARBON CHANGES A. C.T0 D. C.
