Soon after, articles begin to disappear and Madge's father, a kleptomaniac, begins to feel guilty, while the groom almost suspects himself. A detective is summoned, but Dougan, pretending to be Cluney, waylays him, pickpockets his badge, and then impersonates the officer of the law. After various adventures, Nell and Dougan make a getaway but, eventually cornered, return to the Carrs and tell their story. All is forgiven and the two couples share a double wedding ceremony.
