The nightmare train of events into which this circumstance plunges Bookkeeper Jones starts when police arrest him, smilingly dismiss his apologetic explanations as the wily alibis of a desperate criminal. It continues when Jones, released with a safe-conduct to prevent his being arrested again, returns to his dingy room and finds Murderer Mannion waiting to steal the safe-conduct and use Jones as a decoy.

Scenting a swing in his favor he had refused fortnight ago to dismiss a number of officers as demanded by War Minister General Zlateff, presumably at the suggestion of the Veltcheff-Gueorguieff dictatorship.
