AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Criminal double-cross in England. A newly released prisoner is approached by an old classmate, a jeweller, to rob his premises and thus mask his bankruptcy. He does so only to find that the jewels are fake and for his revenge tracks the jeweller to his house and robs him of the gems he has hidden there. He is caught by the police and though he is sentenced to 14 years gaol, his 'friend's' bankruptcy case is ruined. Competent. (PB)
