Podgers, a chiromantist, who peruses his palm and lets him know that it is his fate to be a killer Master Arthur needs to wed, yet concludes he has no option to do as such until he has carried out the murder. After some consideration, he gets a bomb from a cordial German revolutionary, masked as a carriage clock and sends it secretly to a far-off family member, the Dean of Chichester. At the point when the bomb goes off, in any case, the main harm done appears to be a curiosity stunt, and the Dean's child spends his evenings making little, innocuous blasts with the clock. Hopelessly, Lord Arthur agrees that his marriage plans are ill-fated, just to experience a similar palm-peruse who had told his fortune around dusk on the bank of the River Thames. Understanding the most ideal result, he pushes the man off a railing into the stream where he kicks the bucket.
