What Cook does not know is that Flagg isn't exactly dying; she does proceed on writing a story on Flagg and soon enough, he gets the attention of the public, becoming the talk around town. But his celebrity status quickly spread nationwide, even to the point of a paid all-round trip to the Big Apple.

Flagg tells Dr. Harris about the news, instead of him coming forth with the truth about his non-existent condition, Harris encourages his patient to go along for the ride, and milk it for all it's worth. While Flagg is having the time of his life, a medical specialist named Emile Egelhofer is persistant in examining Flagg's state of health.
