At a public gathering, Mrs. Jones accuses Egbert of giving her son Charlie a pendant that "almost killed" him and demands answers. Egbert insists he obtained and had the pendant blessed at a temple to protect Charlie and protests he's being slandered. Onlookers pressure Mrs. Jones to stand as she accuses Egbert of framing her and trying to kill her son. Egbert pleads for justice while the crowd judges. Someone steps forward and says, "If you're innocent, I can prove it," leaving the proof—and Egbert's guilt—unresolved.
