ONLESS YoL HAVE To = AND, ABONE ALL, }“’P THAT WIG AAy Tre <ot ST €OR You SYNOPSIS: The chadow of his criminal life in America falls cn Dr. Charters when a stranger invades his English pursing home and demands that the dcctor give him asy- lum and an alibi on a possible murder charge. The alternative thrcatened is the revelation of Charters’ criminal past, a checkered career of kidnaping and major thievery. When his mysterious cailer tells him that “Spider Schlitz has got his,” the docter's memory goes back to his flight from America with Spider’s and Chink Dor- son’s shares of the St. Clair dia- mond haul, enginecred togeth- er. Out of this evil past also has come Maud, his “cvil gen- ius,” now married to Mr. Lau- derdell, whose pretty niece, not yet 21, is strangely ill in the nursing home, complaining the madicine she takes makes her condition worse. At first de- nying he knows any of the un- derworld characters his visitor pames, Charters finally drops his bluff, while protesting the intrusion.
