Herbert Judson, a famous movie director that has recently received a threating letter, hires George as a bodyguard. George is to accompany Mr. Judson at a ski resort named Snow Valley Lodge. George and Brooksie take the morning flight to Snow Valley. Upon arriving, they meet with Mr. Judson for lunch. George asks "how were you threatened, Mr. Judson?" He shows George a note slipped under his door that says "Better keep your promises if you expect to remain healthy". George asks "what promises does this allude to?" Judson replies "I have no idea". Subsequently, the waitress arrives at their table. She says "Mr. Valentine, this note was left for you with the desk clerk". He opened it. It contained an old picture of George from an advertisement, and says "If this is you, you're wasting your time. A man must pay for his sins and you can't stop it".
