Jenson the town banker stirs up a panic save then town aid
In an Indiana town a shabby bank run by Jenson maneuvers community funds to block the Nall Mill move during the Panic of 1903. He loans old lady money, mobilizes public sentiment, and with a volunteer band of supporters raises funds to keep the mill from relocating, ending with the enterprise staying and the cash pool growing.
