Les Brockton louent une maison à Long Island, près de celle des Palmer. Ils y habitent avec Steve Wilson, un tueur qui se fait passer pour leur maître d'hôtel, et Toni Verdi, qui se fait passer pour un professeur de musique. Comme elle l'espérait, Nan est invitée chez les Palmer et, sur place, elle demande s'ils veulent bien garder ses bijoux dans leur coffre, ce qui lui permet d'en découvrir la combinaison. Lorsqu'un certain Hanley de la fondation Carnegie se présente pour discuter avec Tom de l'homme qu'il a sauvé de la noyade pendant la croisière, les Brockton craignent qu'il ne s'agisse de Ferris, un célèbre détective que personne n'a jamais vu. Plus tard, Tom et sa "famille", en fait eux-mêmes un gang de voleurs, spéculent eux aussi sur l'identité de Ferris. Une nuit, Tom et M.
