Tom has to write a history essay and asks Nobody to tell him what life was like in the 1800s. Nobody tells him about Jack Treadful, a wicked Fagin-like man who used to send the children out to steal for him. Nobody retrieves Jack from the police station he haunts, but once at the house, he steals Peter's prize snuff box . Unable to tell his parents about the ghosts, Tom and Nobody plot to tell Peter where Jack keeps his stolen treasures in the basement if he does not return the box.
