Confident in his abilities, he draws on his engineering knowledge to make critical adjustments to the bridge's design, showcasing his innovative spirit. However, as the story unfolds, Dick's life takes a dramatic turn when he faces the consequences of a seemingly innocent mistake involving lost plans, thrusting him into a world of suspicion and disgrace.
