Synopsis

A corrupt stock-market speculator is uncovered by an honourable young man and so he tries to destroy him. The young man, provoked by the coarse behaviour of the corrupt speculator, captures on film a love scene enacted in front of his lover's house as a document. Thus he forces the crooked stockbroker to admit his dishonest trades.
