Cutler had been trying to prove prophecy false by losing, but his luck prevailed at the track. Now he worries about his death.

Ralph stays with Cutler and protects him from another gang of thugs. Then police accuse Cutler of stealing a valuable stamp collection from Judge Albert Tolliver. Ralph provides Cutler with an alibi since he was with the man at the time of the crime. However, Ralph suspects that he was tricked. Cutler had set the clock ahead at the crime scene, so that he would appear to have been in two places at once. Ralph finds the stamp collection with Cutler's fingerprints, proving that he was the culprit. Cutler intentionally drew Ralph's attention at the race track, so that Ralph could provide his alibi.
