ACT 1: SET UP – SETTING, CHARACTERS, AND PROBLEM INTRODUCEDConfined to a wheelchair, Jefferies spends the day watching his neighbors. Lisa wants Jefferies, but he acts distracted.
ACT 2: TURNING POINT – PROBLEM GETS COMPLEXA neighbor appears to have killed a dog that was digging up the garden; Jefferies thinks the neighbor has murdered his wife, but his detective friend doesn’t believe him.
ACT 3: DENOUEMENT – CLIMAX HAPPENS AND PROBLEM RESOLVEDJefferies convinces Lisa to sneak into the neighbor’s apartment to find evidence of the murder, but they both almost get murdered themselves. Now that she is a co-conspirer, Jefferies agrees to marry Lisa. Lisa is happy.
