A Che Lash of Circumstance and a Wealth Scheme
In this serialized tale Abner Halliday, a miserly millionaire, is found gagged and robbed of 340,000 as his nephew Tom becomes entwined with maidens, detectives, and bourse gambles. Tom attracts Mrs. Dace, a wealthy widow, whose mentor is Richard Mackay, a boodler, while LeDuc presses on with clues and Bruce Halliday's shady finances unravel through a web of love, risk, and duplicitous schemes.
