This sister had a man in love with in love with her from Hannibal's army, and the brother decided to put this to good use for the Romans. He told his plan to Fabius and then went to the house of his sister and did not say at first  that he knew whom she loved. He talked with her and then he told her he knew. She called her friend. The brother and the friend became friends with each other. Then the brother told the friend the plan and the friend agreed to it. Fabius sent out a decoy to fool Hannibal and it worked. At the agreed time,the friend let them in.  Fabius was overcome by ambition and killed many of the townspeople. This was not the right thing to do!
