AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A jewellery commercial traveller is swindled of £800 on his first rounds in Scotland. He accepts the sum as payment from the son of a client on behalf of his father - but is approached that night by an old man claiming the notes paid were his son's forgeries and offering 'genuine' ones in their place. These are the forgeries however and the traveller is himself arrested before his innocence can be proved. (PB)
