The Elmore Bank had just put in a new safe and vault and Mr Adams proudly showed it off to everyone. Annabel's sister's daughters, May and Agatha, were delighted by the shining metal and funny knobs and began playing with the vault.
Suddenly there was a scream from the women and a commotion. While playing May had shut Agatha in the vault and then shot the vaults and turned the combination knob like she had seen her grandfather do.
Agatha was shrieking in terror from inside the dark vault as her frightened mother began wailing. Nobody knew what to do. Annabel turned to Jimmy and pleaded with him to do something.
Jimmy told everyone to get away from the door and took out his burglary tools from his suitcase. Then he set about working as though nobody else was present. In ten minutes, the safe was open and Agatha was safely in her mother's arms again.
Without any hesitation, Jimmy started walking towards the front door although Annabel was calling out to him. There he encountered Ben Price. He surrendered himself to the detective.
However, Ben Price acted rather strangely and addressing Jimmy as "Mr Spencer", said that he did not recognise him. He told Jimmy his buggy was waiting for him and walked away.
