When Harry loses his nerve, Sheila won�t let him give up. Because she is bored and ignored by her egotistical father, she becomes the mastermind of the plot. Harry�s grandson Jack, who feels responsible for the old man and the girl, is shocked, and tries to return Sheila, but is thwarted by her determined fantasizing.
