and they will live happily ever after on the insurance money. Stuart is
lured into the studio and it burns down. Several days later a young woman
turns up saying she is Stuart's girl friend and is worried that she has not
seen him for some time. Then Stuart turns up - he says that when he went
into the studio it was all in darkness and that he tripped over a dead body
