He bags a suspect, who later proves an alibi. A professor is giving a party on the opening of the shooting season at his country place, and one of the men invited to take part in the fun seeks the advice of Winter, since the host is an ally of the suspect. The detective tells him to accept and he goes himself in the guise of the man invited. The place is robbed during the party and Nick bags one of the band, who later proves to be a friend of the banker. He is jailed, but is allowed to escape, the sleuth knowing that he will go at once to his friends. This he does, and after a series of narrow escapes and quick changes of disguises Nick catches the whole band of thieves. The leader of the gang, who was able to establish an alibi on all occasions has a twin brother who goes out of town whenever a "job" is "pulled" and clears his brother of any charge against him by making a good alibi for the culprit.
