Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Episode 15: "The Tapped Wires" Jimmie Dale is watched by the Pretender's spy; he has reason to believe that the telephone wires are tapped. To allay suspicion, and give him a chance to get out unobserved, he calls the family physician. Jimmie manages to slip out. A spy heard words whispered to Jimmie, and communicates them to the Pretender. He translates them into meaning that certain papers are in an underground office maintained by a crook, and instructs the Weasel to secure them. Jimmie is instructed by the Tocsin to secure the papers. The Weasel and the Grey Seal meet, but neither one find the papers. A struggle ensues, the Weasel gets away. Jimmie Dale leaves before the police enter. They see that the safe has been forced, and arrest the Weasel, and start after Jimmie, who reaches home safely after a wild chase. The Pretender sends Jimmie warning that his next night expedition will be his last, announcing that an oath to this effect has been taken by the gang.
