"HIS GOLD MINE STOCK WENT SKY HIGH- By Mistake!"
While Major Manning is in prison, he wins a mine in New Mexico from a fellow inmate. After his release, he plots with some of his former associates to use the mine, which he believes is worthless, to swindle wealthy New Yorkers. His first contact is with his old partner, Steve Dorsey, who is married to a wealthy socialite, Nancy. Dorsey listens to Manning's plan and agrees to run the mock investment company as his suburban life bores him. Also, they convince Nancy to invest most of her money in the scheme. But do things turn out as planned?
