Cornelia, accompagnata da un gruppo di amici, si reca in una solitaria villa di campagna, ospite di Mark. La donna non è affatto preoccupata dalle voci secondo le quali nella zona di aggirerebbe "il pipistrello" un pazzo omicida. Un giorno il cassiere della banca dello zio di Mark scopre un ammanco di un milione di dollari. Mentre il cassiere viene arrestato, il direttore dell'istituto di credito confessa al dottor Wells, amico di Cornelia, di essere lui l'autore del furto. Wells lo uccide, ma a sua volta viene fatto fuori perché ha scoperto la vera identità del "pipistrello".
