Millionaire for a Day in Wagin ends with bank fiasco

A wandering man named Hansen arrives at the Federal Hotel in Wagin after inheriting a fortune. He drafts £500 to travel, tries to cash it and a bank overdraft, and borrows to host a party. A doctor is summoned during his spree. The apparent millionaire pleads guilty to charges while claiming total ignorance of prior actions, with hotel keeper McDermid and banker involved in the tale.
