Poor Penelope! She's been captured by the Hooded Claw, who is in reality the evil secret identity of her barrister, and he is determined to eliminate her so that he can get his hands on her fortune! Bound and gagged, her arms secured tightly behind her in a reverse prayer tie that renders them useless, she struggles in vain to free herself before the Hooded Claw can put his nefarious plans into action! Unfortunately, she can do nothing to prevent him from locking her in a trunk and transporting the poor girl to the boiler room of an abandoned factory, where she has been tied to a chair next to a very faulty and dangerous boiler! Soon, it will overheat and rupture, and then what will become of our heroine? Can she escape before time runs out?
