Plot Overview

Clayton promised a drugged Mary that if she goes away with him to Mexico and leaves a signed note for Roger , he'll let her go once he's safely out of the US. After much prodding, Mary reluctantly agreed to sign the note, unaware that it sounds like she's running away with a lover. Mike and Marceau sent Sgt. Helen Killbourn to visit Irene, who had returned to her own apartment. Helen pretended to be call-girl Paula Haken and tipped Irene off that the cops were closing in on Clayton. Irene panicked and attempted to call Clayton, but Marceau made sure that the phone service had been disrupted. Mortified, Irene grabbed a taxi and rushed to warn Clayton that the cops were on to him. Mike, Marceau, Helen, and the police followed Irene to the Throckmorton apartment. Helen arrested Irene. As the police arrived at the scene, Mary signed Pike's note, but then she barricaded herself in the bedroom and attempted to break the metal grating over the bedroom window. As Mary attempted to escape, Clayton tried to break down the bedroom door.
