The rather disgruntled pair is sequestered in the Grand Adlington Hotel having made a pig's ear out of their latest case. But, whilst sipping mournful cocktails, with Tommy oddly dressed as a Parson, they are gleefully accosted by their old acquaintance Mr. Bulger who has London's most beautiful stage actress, Gilda Glen, in tow. Feather brained and a little confused, Gilda takes Tommy for a real clergyman and scrawls out a desperate note to meet him away from the hotel. Whilst Tommy and Tuppence mull over the note, in storms a man, an old flame of Gilda's claiming he wants to ring someone's neck. When the duo turn up at the meeting place all hell breaks loose after a high pitch scream is heard.
