Wainwrights Plot to Corner Borough Street Rail Way
In a suburban mansion financier Charles Wainwright and broker Scott Gibbs plot to corner Borough Street railway stock with support from boss Dic Horrigan while Alderman Phelan and Judge Newman loom in the political web. Alwyn Bennett, newly elected mayor, faces bribery pressure as he clashes over the fraudulent franchise bill, and personal entanglements among Dallas, Perry, Cynthia, and Gibbs complicate loyalties as Thompson's loyalty is questioned and Bennett vetoes the bill to protect Dallas and Perry.
