The Gold Burners of New York Slewed by a Banker-Detective
Christopher Poe and Burns unravel a sweating scheme in uptown New York involving tampered 1913 gold coins passed through Sicilian and Italian wholesalers. Poe suspects a Sicilian gang, tails it to the Harlem market, uncovers Giovanni the cook's ash barrel scam, and with Burns captures the masterminding grocer. A chemist confirms traces of gold in ash dust, revealing a covert melting operation. Giovanni is jailed after a staged takedown that recovers the stolen coinage and implicates a related wholesale dealer.
