Join in to enjoy this rehearsal where the transitional music is gone, but the drama remains. Johnny finds himself in a matter that’s delicate and requires extreme caution. Sidney Ryecroft has been kidnapped, and time is short. Will a payoff be forced, or can Johnny manage to turn the tables? There’s no garantees with a kidnapper, and though the money is dropped off, Johnny has to nervously await word for when and where to pick up Sidney Ryecroft. While he does, he learns that shady events may have been afoot. Sidney is a champion boxer, but is the kidnapping a fraud, or not? Who would benefit from his being taken out of action? Or who might benefit from his timely release?
Still digging for the truth, all Johnny knows is that the ransom money is in the hands of the kidnappers, as is Sidney. He puts his doubts on the line to Mrs Ryecroft, but does she know anything helpful? When the word arrives that Sidney is found dead, her sadness is believable, and Johnny moves his questioning in a new direction. Turning up the heat only brings out dangers for Johnny, and rather than phoning for the police to handle matters, he races in to face it himself.
Stand by for the truth, and confessions to come pouring out in the uncovered plot twist that explains all.
