A Mercer's High Stakes Deathbed Deception
M. Ramin schemes to force a dying man into a costly annuity by exploiting his health fears. After a tense confrontation with the housekeeper and a priest, the willful Bonelle appears to be dying, a ploy that yields a signed agreement. Bonelle later reappears healthy, exposing the scam as the pretend illness vanishes while his real asthma lingers.
