Jean speedily becomes convinced that Donegal is still in the building. While Talcott converses with Craven, she makes a tour of the prison. In going through the room adjoining the fire-room, Jean stumbles over a man who is bound and gagged. Without pausing to loosen the man's bonds, the Girl Detective enters the fire room. One glance at the fireman's face and she turns to give the alarm. Donegal, however, seizes Jean and throttles her into insensibility. In the meantime, the real fireman has worked his bonds loose. He enters the fire room just as Donegal is about to thrust his victim into the furnace. The fireman shouts for help. Craven, Talcott and a number of guards respond to the call. Donegal is overpowered and tells how he escaped from his cell. Jeffries, Donegal's pal, had climbed to the roof of the building. After locating the cell, Jeffries lowered a piece of joist into it, via the vent hole. Placing the piece of wood in his bed and covering it with the blanket. Donegal hid underneath the bunk. When the guard entered the cell and discovered that the prisoner had apparently disappeared, he promptly rushed out to notify Craven, leaving the door open. Knowing the other prisoners would never "squeal," Donegal left his hiding place and went to the fire room. There he overpowered the man on watch and changed clothes with him. But for Jean's suspicions, he would have made his escape when relieved by the fireman of the next shift. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
