Planning to use this knowledge to obtain money for himself, he goes to the German Embassy and attempts to make a deal for the betrayal of Kurt. Later he attempts another deal with Kurt and the Farrellys, promising to keep Kurt’s secret for the sum of $10,000. Kurt, suspicious of the double-dealing Count, forces him into the garage and shoots him. The Farrellys, in their understanding of the circumstances, give Kurt time in which to get away. The close of the story sees him returning to Europe to carry on his work against Fascism.
