As Ned navigates this treacherous labyrinth of deceit, his sharp intellect and unwavering resolve propel him deeper into the machinations of the true villain, Grant Knowles. Through a series of clandestine investigations and a relentless pursuit of truth, Ned meticulously unearths the irrefutable evidence required to exonerate MacDonald, expose Knowles as both the swindler and the true murderer, and ultimately dismantle the entire scheme.
