The Penalty - The Penalty Is Paid

    Blizzard has another diabolical plan - he now turns his attention to Ferris, the doctor who had needlessly amputated his legs.  He begins by kidnapping Ferris's assistant and taking him to the fully equipped operating room that he had set up in his cellar for this very moment.

 

Then ...  He then calls Ferris telling him his daughter Barbara is at his house, injured.  He wastes no time rushing over.

and Now...  this is 59 Wentworth Place in Chinatown, described in more detail in an earlier post.  Note that the sidewalk has since been widened and the lampposts shifted outwards.

 

    Rose is mortified when she overhears Blizzard demanding that Ferris remove the legs from his assistant and graft them onto him otherwise harm will befall the doctor's daughter.  Despite her love for Blizzard, she is shocked into action, rushing off to get help from her Secret Service colleagues...

 

    ... but they arrive to find that, instead, Ferris had finally treated the original injury, a contusion on the brain that had all along been the cause of Blizzard's bizzare and criminal behavior.  Rose is overjoyed to see that he is now not only mentally cured but determined to right his wrongs.

 

    Unfortunately, a happy ending is about to be thwarted by Blizzard's cronies who, hearing of his transformation to righteousness, are fearful he will shop them...

    Blizzard's new life - he and Rose are now married, is short-lived when Frisco Pete shows up and dispatches him with a single shot.  

        His dying words ...
