One of their fellow boarders at Balmoral Guest House, Captain Fraser of the Royal Navy, goes out one dismal night with his pet terrier and is found crushed and burned to death in his wrecked roadster at the foot of a cliff. Hornleigh and Bingham, residing at Brighthaven incognito and the last people to see Fraser, are taken into custody by the local police.
