In a last minute attack of conscience, he deliberately blows the parole hearing to rush back and prevent the deaths of his fellow inmates, only to discover that his message of peace has sunk in and the prisoners are dancing instead of fighting. Warden Gasque orders the guards to open fire on the dancing men. When they refuse, he grabs a gun and shoots wildly. Warden Gasque attempts to shoot Minton, but he is stopped by Mindy and the Master, who had snuck in.
