Monty Brewster avoids panic during a stock surge at Lumber and Fuel pushing to 113 and beyond. He brokers a clever exit by misdirecting two would be robbers, who discover only his coat lost and a missing $300 roll, leaving him unharmed and ahead in the day’s caper.
Brewster’s stock success earns him renewed respect after a sharp profit, while a $50,000 burden hangs over him. He frets over selling six Boston terrier puppies for $25 each as pressure mounts. A dramatic ride in the subway car ends with the green juggernaut wrecked after Monty loses control, a multi thousand dollar loss but a bittersweet turn for Brewster.
