She agrees, out of friendship alone, much to the distress of her friend and assistant, Suzanne Alison Skipworth. It is too late. At their wedding, Stefans closest confederate, Francis Chalon Walter Kingsford, is taken away by the police for questioning, and the other guests hastily depart.Knowing that Chalon can incriminate him, Stefan goes into hiding at a remote chateau. However, he makes a mistake, sending a letter to Nicole asking her to join him. She does so, despite Anthonys protests. Nicole gets Stefan to admit the truth, though he insists he does love her. When he sees that the police have followed Nicole and have surrounded the chateau, he excuses himself. To spare her from being dragged down with him, he goes outside. As he expected, he is shot and killed, though it is staged to look like a suicide to avoid causing further embarrassment to the government. ........
