- Ida has been tending the store while Morris is healing from the blows to his head, but she is forced to close it for a day.
- Helen posts a notice on the store window. A stranger with melancholy eyes studies it. He's been seen a lot in the neighborhood.
- The stranger is Frank Alpine. He sits at the fountain, drinking coffee, looking at a magazine.
- Sam, the candy store owner, notices that the man is looking at a picture of a monk.
- Frank tells him about St. Francis of Assisi and why he's an inspiration to him.
- That evening, Helen notices Frank staring into the window of their store. He then disappears. Creepy.
