Mr. Kardoff heads for the hangman's noose; he's a killer about to get his just deserts. After he's pronounced dead and put in a coffin, he's delivered to his estate, where the butler discovers that Kardoff is still alive. His head is stuck at a crooked angle, but he's not complaining. And, having been declared dead, he can't be arrested or prosecuted for any further crimes.
