Plot

Peter is again stopped to be questioned by the police. But he succeeds in passing the lie detector test delivered by Clifford. Cruz offers Joe and Kelly to move their honeymoon trip to the vacant home of her friend Frank Swanson in Palm Springs. Thanks to the inquisitiveness of a policeman, Peter raises the telephone number of this friend and calls her, by passing Joe, to find the precise address of the residence. As Warren left the police station without waiting to be questioned, Mason suspects him of trying to leave the city. In the museum, Augusta asks Elizabeth to help her sell Lionel's pictures again to recover liquid assets. But Elizabeth refuses, having decided to put aside her artist's career and to leave Santa Barbara for Paris. Augusta then accepts a call from Warren with which she arranges an appointment at the museum to bring him extra business before running away. But Mason and the police arrive at the time of the appointment. Warren just has the time to escape and to hide in the room where Elizabeth is. Kelly and Joe arrive at their holiday home in Palm Springs. Peter, who has arrived by air, is already there to wait for them... Last appearance in the series of Clifford T. Monroe.—vonfleissig
