Again, I was left totally confused by this plot. I know it's impossible to show every panel or page, but here's my summation from what I got from the story. It's Christmas. The entire family and staff have departed for other holiday activities leaving Vicki alone at Collinwood. Meanwhile, some men think the Old House is abandoned and decide to rummage through it to see what they can get. A lonely Vicki visits and equally lonely Barnabas for some Christmas cheer and then leaves. The men brake into the Old House and Vicki catches them. They panic, hit her, and she with a head injury runs away until she almost falls from Widow's Hill, but they save her and one of them takes her back to the Old House to deal with her injuries. His friends continue to rifle through the Old House until Barnabas catches them. To save themselves, they state their friend is helping Victoria. Barnabas lets them go. The man helping Vicki is then able to call an ambulance and it's apparent he has developed an affection for her. She is taken away, the man who likes her tells Barnabas not to leave her alone and he promises as much.
Did I get it right?
