Anyway, while George schools his fellow reporters on the billiard table, he also explains that Berlea steals art treasures because he loves them, not just for the money. His colleagues think George is crazy, and quite annoying, too. George is smug and the reporters are shocked when news breaks that the butler was indeed murdered that evening. Everyone rushes out to get the scoop. But I wonder if maybe George could alert the authorities when he knows a murder is coming?
Seems awfully callous to let the butler die just to prove a point. Anyway, George strides down the street in search of a story when a woman Jean Arthur begs him for some money. He is uncharacteristically moved by her pitiful appeal and reaches for his wallet. A moment later he realizes that his wallet is missing…. He sees the beggar get into a taxi and follows her.
She goes to a fancy salon and asks for a facial and a shampoo. George waits outside. He grabs her and they are on their way to the police station when she explains her tragic plight.
She was married to a very cruel man and understandably ran away with a lover. But the courts sided with her husband and revoked custody of their young daughter. Also, her lover abandoned her and now she is poor and alone. But hurray! This year her ex-husband is allowing her to visit her daughter. George says fine, but he is going to stay with her to make sure she is telling the truth.
So he takes her to a fancy dinner and basically mocks her the whole time. After dinner, George and the woman head to a fancy mansion in the middle of nowhere. The ex-husband tells his fragile wife that their daughter is waiting for her in the parlor. She rushes in and we hear a horrible scream. George runs in and finds something really awful. I think I shouted at the screen.
George sees the woman collapsed on the floor in front of a child-sized coffin. I decided not to provide an image for that disturbing shot. How awful is that? George gets the woman out of there and takes her back to his apartment.
Watch if you dare. George goes at once, but this time the house is dark and appears deserted. He meets a watchman who says that the owner is out of town, and no one has been there for weeks. George breaks into the house to investigate, but he is cornered by a suave man with a gun. He explains that they have lured George to the house because he knows too much and must die. Everyone has a good laugh, and we at least feel better that the tragic story about the child was fake. The story concerns the plight of a woman who was cast out by her cruel husband, lost custody of her child, and was reduced to begging on the street.
Meanwhile, the man she stole the wallet from trails behind her. Sound familiar? Another fun fact: a film called Three Hours was based on the story, and both are credited as inspiration for Adventure in Manhattan. But this film only inserts their plots briefly as the prank on George.
