Synopsis:
Hanford Jenkins has been threatened by a local syndicate. They have planted weapons in his apartment disguised as ordinary objects. Before the weapons are activated, they make a telltale click. When Jenkins hears the click, he shoots the objects with a gun to stop them from exploding.

When the Dibnys visit their friends who live in the same building as Jenkins, they hear gunshots. The neighbors have become accustomed to the shots, but Ralph becomes suspicious. He investigates and discovers that Jenkins used the gunshots as cover for his partners who are blowing a safe in another apartment. Ralph captures the crooks and exposes Jenkins as a fake.
