Footage of forensic scientists doing tests on a dead mans liver. The scientist checks for alkaloidal poisons. The chemist explains how his machinery works to the head detective. It turns out strychnine was the cause of death. The man was possibly murdered, but suicide was still not ruled out. It turns out the man could not type, so it makes the suicide not seem very fishy.
