Sam breaks the news to the widow. Clues are sparse, and Sam’s time is close to half gone. A cigarette case and a handful of foreign bills is the start that Sam needs. Sam may not be so lucky when he steps back out on the street to find that car that missed him earlier.

Sam turns the crooks over to the cops, and explains the details of the murder, and counterfeiting ring. More importantly, did he manage solving the case in the hour deadline that Effie set for him?
