While wandering through the vineyard young Staire meets Millie, whose pretty face attracts his attention. This causes Rodney a pang of jealousy. This feeling is enhanced by remarks made by the revenue man. His insinuations 'are so strong that Rodney refuses to listen to him and knocks him down. That night White goes to Rodney and tells him that Millie is visiting at young Staire's house and Rodney is prevailed upon to investigate for himself. Seeing two shadows on the window shade, Rodney believes all White has told him. The next day Rodney shows young Staire over the wine vats. Staire slips and falls into an empty vat.
