Brief Story Line:
This story is about 4 people Stephen, Robin, Jean-Pierre and James
Brigsley who are made bankrupt by a business master-mind Harvey
Metcalf. So these four join hands to take back exactly the same amount
of money that has been taken away from Harvey without letting Harvey
know about it.
Harvey set up a Prospecta Oil company and released its shares at a
very low price in England where he appointed three men Silverman,
Cooper, Elliot to take charge and kept himself away while making each
and every move cautiously. Who then appointed David Kestler as
executive working under MD Mr. Elliot. David involved Stephen, Robin,
Jean-Pierre, James Brigsley to buy shares and the value of shares keep
going up as David was assured that it will reach £10 then to sell the
shares and David told this to Stephen, Robin, Jean-Pierre, James. But
one day when he went to office he found it was closed and was taken on
rent, then he realized that he had been fooled and the value of shares
started declining. So he fled to America and the rest four who bought
shares were rendered penniless.
This made them join together to take back their amount. So everyone
was asked by Stephen to be ready with their plan of action. Everyone
was ready except James as he was a lazy person. So leaving for James
everyone's plan started to execute and they were able to extract the
money bit by bit which involved every one to play their part
efficiently. Meanwhile James apart from playing his part effectively
falls in love with a girl Anne Summerton. To whom he told about
everything and she tried to help him out to make his own plan.
After everyone's plan was successfully executed James met Anne's
father for approval for their marriage and to his surprise found that
he was none another but Harvey himself i.e. Anne is Rosalie Metcalf.
