The mention of a $100,000 reward gets their attention. Flint allows March to join him as they sneak into the Albright mansion in hopes of solving the mystery and collecting the reward.

During their attempt to sneak in, Albright's lawyer (Zachary Scott) sees them and recgonizes March as being the long-lost nephew, Charles Albright, Jr. The lawyer was responsible for Charles Albright, Sr.'s death, and his plan is to marry Cecilia and kill her to inherit the entire fortune.
