Meanwhile, one of the other tenants of the house threatens to expose the gang's activities, and is found strangled in his room the next morning. The gang manage to point the finger of blame at Lucy's father. Lucy and her friend, Tom, manage to find a way of clearing Lucy's father and getting out of
this horrible situation, and all ends happily.
