| Description |
Two speculators - Dennis Blossom (Bert Le Blanc) and Mike Bloom (Jake Vack) - desire to get in to business on Wall Street. They end up in partnership with Will Cheatem (Carlton Chase), 'a broker whose bad circumstances are thus relieved' (BC:19 Sept. 1913, 4). Cheatem is secretly married to Leona Long, who has a guardian who wishes to marry her but is unaware that she is already wedded. An old sweetheart of Cheatem, Cassia Roland, enters the story and further complicates matters. |
