As she's walking down the street she sees what appears to be a man chopping off a woman's head. In fact, it's a fellow named Barton O'Hara who happens to be a Stage Magician named "Bluebeard the Great", and he was practicing a decapitation trick for his act, but Vera never finds that out.Vera gets on the train. Sitting on the seat across from her is none other than Barton. When Vera reads a newspaper article about a real "Bluebeard" who's chopping off women's heads, she becomes convinced that her traveling companion is the killer.Director Jules White is best remembered for being the regular director for The Three Stooges. Emil Sitka, who made his film debut in this short, went in to star in a lot of Three Stooges shorts.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Chekhov's Gun A mom puts a jar of jam, meant for her son, on the luggage rack. It leaks, making Vera think that Barton's luggage is leaking blood. Vera and Barton have identical trunks and she puts hers on the rack next to his. Naturally, she picks the wrong one. | |

Clingy MacGuffin | |
| Hiss and Yell / int_77e8d49d | comment |
Clingy MacGuffin: Vera just cannot get rid of the trunk with the (fake) severed head. One time she leaves it on the sidewalk, and a cop sees it and gives it back to her. Another time, she throws it over a hedge, only for the gardener on the other side to scream in terror and throw it back over the hedge at her. She leaves it outside her sister's house, only for the dog to bring it in. | |
