That same day, a young man is found near the river. The victim is bound and gagged, while a heavy stone is fastened to his neck. Shortly after the man is taken to the hospital, the attendant guarding him is found unconscious. The patient has disappeared. Evelyn and Strong are sent to the scene. The girl recognizes the attendant, Ritchie, as an ex-convict. At her request, the man is discharged. By trailing Ritchie, Evelyn and Strong find that the missing man is a prisoner in a house out in the suburbs. Meecham, another crook, guards the man. The two sleuths, trapped by Meecham and Ritchie, learn that the mysterious patient is the son of old Harris. Evelyn and Strong also learn that the crooks had engineered the kidnapping from the hospital, and that they had previously attempted to drown their victim. This, because of Meecham's plot to pose as Harris' son, Meecham had actually succeeded in fooling the millionaire into believing him to be the long-lost son when the appearance of the real son made it imperative that the latter be done away with. While Ritchie is left to guard the three prisoners, Meecham returns to the Harris mansion. A clever ruse on the part of Evelyn, brings about the capture of Ritchie. The sleuths then hasten to the millionaire's home. There they surprise Meecham. Exposing the scoundrel's plot, they restore the long-lost son to his father.
