Comments:
The villain of this story is called Mr. Douglas on page 3. On subsequent pages he is called Mr. Mason. Tom Mason, is actually a student and victim of the story. It is assumed that an error was made causing the names to be mixed up. Therefore the villain shall be considered to be Mr. Douglas despite repeatedly being called Mason in the story.

Synopsis:
Johnny Quick saves the life of Tom Mason, a student who is trying to kill himself. Tom explains that he began taking fencing lessons at the academy, and that he accidentally killed his instructor's assistant Dixie. The instructor then blackmailed Tom, threatening to tell police that the death was intentional.

Johnny offers to help by going undercover as a fencing student. Just like Tom, Johnny is surprised when he accidentally stabs his opponent. However, Johnny is wise and exposes the man as a fraud. The blood is actually ketchup. The crooks attack Johnny including the supposedly dead man, Dixie.

Johnny is caught off guard and left to die. However, Johnny is able to use his speed to escape a trap designed to kill him using loud music. He then regroups and apprehends the crooks. Tom returns to the academy, thankful for the aid of Johnny Quick.
