Synopsis
A man appears to be being tricked out of a valuable piece of land in Canada which contains lucrative silver deposits by his wife's lover.[5] Both the potential villains begin to have second thoughts when gradually come to suspect that their intended victim, having since changed his name, is in fact a notorious killer from Canada. Eventually it transpires he was not the murderer, but is only using it as a trick to push his wife and her lover to reveal their deception out of fear.
