Opis oryginalny: angielski
Dr. Hugh Annersley, assisted by Dr. Appledan, has succeeded in finding a cure for cancer. Julia, Dr. Annersley's sister, comes home with Griswold, a former client of the doctor, and to whom he still owes money. Griswold did not enter the house, Annersley saying to Appledan that if Griswold would pay him what he owes, he could then continue his work with the medical discovery. Griswold, now being attended by Appledan, Annersley decides to write him a letter, in which he states that unless he is paid within twenty-four hours, that he will go to Griswold's apartment to collect the account himself. Appledan takes the letter to Griswold himself. In giving medicine to Griswold, Appledan gives him an overdose, resulting in his sudden death. To ward off suspicion, Appledan places Annersley's letter threatening violence to Griswold on the latter's table, and firing two shots out of a revolver, the aged doctor leaves the room
