A woman and her injured son are detained by one crook, whilst the other takes the safe keys to rob a factory. They fall out, and the boy is rescued while they fight.

Though her recollection is vague, she volunteers to act as bait for the killer – telling the press that she had seen the kidnapper's face and she waits for him to attack.
