editor. They don't even hear Esther when she sings "Perfect Casting." Exit Esther, enter Bensinger, the owner of the desk in which Williams is hiding. To keep him away from his desk, Burns pretends to hire Bensinger to write a poem about the manhunt. Bensinger decides to write it in "Hiawatha" style (Bensinger's Poem). Eventually, Williams is recaptured and Hildy is arrested and jailed for harbouring him. Hildy turns to his drunken cellmate and addresses him bitterly (Water Under The Bridge). Finally, all is well. Hildy is released, he and Esther are reunited and are about to leave for Hollywood. Burns gives Hildy his treasured pocket watch as a wedding present, after which the whole building sings the happy couple on their way (Windy City). Ah, but Burns still has a trick up his sleeve...
