Nicky Giblin also brings with him mysterious Mr. Lockhart, a refined man who takes the opportunity to remind Sharky about their meeting, 25 years back. Sharky had accepted the challenge of a game and out his soul into a playing against Lockhart, while trying to gain his freedom. Sharky won the game, and thus his freedom, on condition that Lockhart play the game again.

The climax of the performance is the game played by the five men. It seems to be a harmless card game, but it actually is a game on Sharky’s soul, because Lockhart is revealed to be a Mephistophelic creature. Sharky wins again when Ivan unveils his all fours, which he had mistakenly made because of his shortsightedness.
