Plot: Harold Sinclair, a "get-rich-quick" promoter, and his silent partners, George and Mina Hopkins, are doing a flourishing business in bogus stocks. However, such flourishing conditions cannot last long in the bunco business, and Sinclair finds this out when Zet Maiston, a victim, exposes the oily tongued promoter to the post office authorities. Sinclair's offices are surrounded by secret service men and plans are made to capture Sinclair and his aides. Sinclair, an old hand at dodging detectives, almost makes good his "get-away," but through the agency of inevitable fate, the bloodhounds of the law finally overtake and capture the trio.
