Fortune Telling Scheme Ends in Codfish Debacle on River Venture
A wild tale of a scheming fortune teller and two schemers who buy a derelict sternwheel steamer named Victor, hunt treasure, and chase a fatal codfish twist. A heated fallout follows as misers Gibney Scraggs and McGuffey clash with partner Nels Halvorsen over debts and the ship’s fate.
