Muni misunderstands it as an offer for his goats and is reluctant but when the American offers a hundred rupees, Muni relents. The tourist then examines the statue of the horse and makes an offer to buy it. The conversation carries on with neither man understanding each other. He thinks that he is a policeman who has come for the body and starts telling his suspicions about other people. Out of the car comes a white man from New York who starts talking with Muni, but he does not understand a word of it. The next day, when Muni takes his goats out to graze, he spots a motor car. The same night, his wife tells him about a body found near the well and is afraid to go out for fear of the police. He goes to the grocer only to get kicked out because he has unsettled debts.
