Dana T. Morley was a member of the clique of unscrupulous financiers who ruined old man Warden, and J. Rufus and Blackie have promised the Warden girls that they will help in getting the money back. One Edward Bang, inventor of a sun engine, is deep in debt to Morley, and it is through him that the confidence men get at their quarry and lead him to slaughter. Everything is worked in unison and harmony and friend Morley falls hard. He is led to believe that the confidence men contemplate building a large factory to produce these sun engines and that there is no limit to the money that is to be made. Wallingford and his henchmen have a "row" and the Warden girls say they will sell their option on the whole "shooting-match" for several hundred thousand dollars. Morley snaps it up, figuring on selling it to Wallingford, knowing that J. Rufus wants it. They give him the options, all right, but when he goes after the genial Wallingford, that worthy offers exactly thirty cents for the whole thing. "Stung," says Morley.
