After Phillip asks Jed to keep his upcoming trip to Honolulu a secret, Jed leaves, taking the visitor's scarf with him. The next morning, Jed reads in the newspaper that Phillip has been murdered. Jed confers with his girl friend, talent agent Myra Peters, whose brother Bill, a police lieutenant, is leading the investigation into Phillip's death. Although he did not see the murderer, Jed starts a rumor that he has inside information about the crime, hoping to scare the killer into revealing his or her identity. They go to the theater, where Bill has assembled everyone for the investigation, and Myra suggests that Jed rewrite his play to incorporate the facts of the case. Jed and Myra tell Bill about their plan, and he informs them that Phillip was strangled, and that some fingerprints found on the door will soon be identified. Jed and Myra listen through the intercom as Bill questions Mrs. Mannings and Phillip's associates, including John Webb, his financial backer.

Bill tells Jed that a panhandler named Shuffalong reported seeing a man matching Jed's description entering Phillip's building the previous night. After Bill leaves, Jed receives an anonymous telegram warning him that if he writes the play, he must do justice to the role of Jed Kilgore. While Bill is at the telegraph office trying to find out who sent the message, Jed is attacked by an unidentified man. They fight and the man escapes, taking the scarf with him.
