The police soon have a second murder when Ethel Morgan is found dead in a alleyway - also having drowned. A third victim - Virginie Rousseau - is found before Murdoch finds the connection between the three. Emily Grace - champion croquet player for two years running - returns to the athletic club - she was not welcome there once she broke off her engagement - after hearing that Canada will be sending a croquet player to the Paris Olympics.—garykmcd

Meanwhile Crabtree stand by Emily, who decides to re-enter the Toronto Athletic Club, which may send a member to the Paris Olympics, w<here she had been multiple croquet champion, as her successor and formal romantic rival rudely boasts being superior, requiring a duel, with her handsome rowing athlete fiance Ralph Bridgewater, who found the first victim, as other 'secondant'.—KGF Vissers
