She discovers what has happened when she returns from Europe, but her managers neglect to disclose their own part in ruining Holt. To get evidence against Holt, Miss Costello becomes a "paid whisperer" and is subsequently given a position inside his offices where she gets the information she sought. Holt has extended his whispering activities to other businesses. Costello who now loves him, begs him to stop. He attempts to retract damage he has done against a milk concern, but it is too late. He is sent to prison. There his whisptring abilities prevent a prison break for which he is pardoned, and is permitted to go back to his business and Miss Costello.
