Whistling bars from "Yankee Doodle" as a code signal, the members of the secret society creep up on Garrett, gag and bind him with adhesive tape while he is having his shoes shined. A high-school girl (Judith Allen) entertains his bodyguard while the boys take Garrett to a deserted factory, try him in a kangaroo court, exact his confession to both murders by dunking...
