Finally the Chinese hosts uncorked unlimited champagne and a peculiarly good time...
Johnny now has plenty to think about. The little old man haunts his days, Trelia his nights. As the old man's attitude grows more threatening, the girl becomes friendlier. But when Johnny sees that she cannot return his love, he says good-by to her. The old man, out of sheer fiendishness, kills an inoffensive Italian window-washer and an Irish bartender, then has Johnny arrested for murder. Because the old man swears he was an eyewitness and Johnny's alibi is weak, things look black for him. But with Johnny in deadly peril, Trelia...
