****SPOILERS*** Just released from prison after serving a five year stretch for embezzlement Martin Kelso, Morgan Farley, in not being able to find legitimate work in the banking industry is hired by con artist George Vermillion, Douglass Bumbrille, to help him gyp honest hard working businessmen out of their money as well as businesses. Vermillion targeting Harry Sturner, Rudolph Anders, to sell his pottery factory in Dollarsburg Ma. has his fellow crook Kelso acting as his bookkeeper lay this line of BS on the naive Sturner that his company,which is worth some $200,000.00, is not only bankrupt but he may face jail time for unknowingly embezzling it!
Kelso tells Sturner that for $5,000.00 he'll cook the company's books for him to clear the nasty matter, in him embezzling his business's stock holders, up. As it turned up the con artist team of Vermillion & Kelso racked up tens of thousands of dollars pulling this con on a number of unsuspecting businessmen. That's until Capt. John Braddock, Reed Hadley, and his bonko squad caught up with them.
It was Kelso, beside those that he swindled out of their businesses, who ended up getting the worst of it. Now a two time loser he's to face 10 to 15 years behind bars with Vermillion as his cell-mate. That in Kelso going along with Vermillion who instead off providing him with a honest job, as he promised Kelso, got him back to the world of crime that he at first so desperately tried to avoid.
