Judy first traces Frederica Hammond to her boarding house and finally to the home of a sick relative. Judy travels to the home of Myrta Mattis where she discovers that Frederica is held a prisoner by Myrta's relatives, who appear to be attempting to poison Myrta. Frederica insists that Judy will be held a prisoner as well if her presence becomes known. Judy devises a plan of escape for herself through the basement and plans to go for help. Judy's escape is cut short after a servant mistakes her as a spirit that has risen from the nearby lake. Judy is then forced by a spirit swindler into performing as a spirit for his clients. It is only by a stroke of good luck that help arrives for Judy, and Frederica is saved from her prison.
