Answer:
The grave step the Intruder was about to take was to murder Gerrard. The Intruder was a criminal. He had committed a murder. The police was after him. He planned to kill Gerrard and take on his identity as Vincent Charles Gerrard. But he could not carry out his plan.
Gerrard was smarter than the intruder. He made the Intruder give him all the details of his plan. He also fabricated a story about him being a crook. The disguise outfit with false moustache makes intruder believe that he escapes police under disguise. The telephone call made it clear that the man posted on the road by Gerrard must have rung him up to inform him about the arrival of the police. He made the Intruder come to conclusion that they must escape and tricked him and locked him in a cupboard.
