Later, when she learns that Sara's father has most likely been killed in action and Sara's bills won't be paid, she sticks Sara in an unheated attic room and relegates her to the servitude of a scullery maid to pay off the insurmountable debt. Cesar Romero, as the kindly Indian servant, Ram Dass, helps Sara out of her servitude.
