Michael, whose love for Elsa grows day by day along the way, meets a strange man named Grisby a few weeks later. This strange man, who is also a friend of Arthur Bannister, offers Michael $5,000 in exchange for killing him. Although he initially rejects the offer, the young man who wants to run away with Elsa accepts after a while. But there is something he doesn't know. Grisby's plans will get Michael in big trouble.
