Pathe— FRENZIED FINANCE— 3 Reels
Claude Rodgers, a reckless gambler, falls heir to a banking business through the will of his father-in-law. The bank, when he receives it, is staple and secure, but Rodgers immediately launches a " Get-rich-quick" scheme and starts a campaign to get depositors by promises of fabulous interest. The bank soon becomes the largest, although not the safest, in the East. But good things cannot last forever, and with his wife's sickness Rodgers' luck turns. A run on the bank is the next misfortune, and because of Rodgers' extravagance it cannot stand the strain. Amidst a scene of wild disorder at the Stock Exchange, the bank's stock collapses. A mob of ruined depositors storms the home of the banker, pursuing him through the rooms, until they find that a bullet from his revolver has brought his reckless career to a close.
