Potash and Perlmutter Silk Theft Case
In a cloak and suit shop, foreman Barney Greenberg and brother Max accuse Pincus Rifkin, a rabbi’s son, of pilfering six pieces of black silk worth $300. Rifkin’s Remnants store becomes the target as Abe Potash and Morris Perlmutter chase the missing silk, aided by suspicions of Rifkin’s policeman brother.
