Soon he is interrupted by complications as guests arrive, unexpected and uninvited, each with their own key to the deserted hotel. Two hundred thousand dollars gets deposited in the hotel safe, a young woman is shot, and, while the author hold the crooks at bay waiting for the police to arrive, they cook up a scheme to turn the tables on George.
