The next morning at the breakfast table he is laughed at by his ward, Brina, and nephew, George Etherbridge, who has just returned from Europe, because he does not seem to relish the dishes set before him. But their laughter turns into fear when the Colonel falls unconscious and they are not able to revive him. Doctor Ballard is sent for and he declares that the Colonel has been poisoned. While the Colonel is conscious Count des Auteils, who has been paying court to Brina, is seen to bend over him and whisper something in his ear. Then the count repairs to the bathroom and a short time later he rushes forth, highly insulted because one of the servants has been spying upon him. The count wants to leave the house, but George and the doctor smooth matters over. As they are in the hall they encounter the butler, who has been spying upon the count. He declares that the colonel's toothbrush is missing. Colonel's fiancée arrives and voices her opinion that someone had poisoned the Colonel to prevent their marriage, someone who would be deprived of their inheritance should the marriage be performed. The doctor administers a stimulant to the Colonel, who responds, and with great effort orders the count held. He is not a count at all, but a chap from India, who has come to revenge an ancient wrong done his mother by the Colonel. The count had poisoned the colonel's toothbrush.
