Matters become more melodramatic when the dreaded polygamist lures Una and half the chorus of the Folly Theatre to his dwelling in Brixton, whilst the police are on the wrong track chasing Trimmitt. who accidentally picked upo a Mormon's hat in a restaurant. But the amateur detectives are on the right scent following a trail of blue confetti which Una has dropped in her wake.
