It becomes clear that Spellbinder has his eyes set on the valuable Eye of Sarkana, but Alfred quickly discovers that it won't be stolen by the butlers, but by their masters, who like the butlers were hypnotized by Spellbinder when he posed as a photographer and hid his hypnosis under the flash of the camera.
