The good news is that Mabel is still alive, managing to remind her captor that he needs her to fix his screenplay's horrible dialogue. A lesson to aspiring screenwriters: be so good that they can’t kill you.

The plan to free Mabel hinges on timing, using Vince Fish's window as a distraction, which adds a layer of tension and humor typical to their adventures, while also showcasing their resourcefulness.
