A successful inventor and businessman can't keep up with the needs of his expensive trophy wife. She gets furs and jewelry and she is bankrupting him, even though he makes a lot of money. One night he goes to see the silent partner that originally bankrolled him. Because he is cash poor, he is unable to pay the money owed. This man came to his aid in a time of crisis, yet he stiffs him, in more ways than one. Unfortunately for him, Robert Newton (Long John Silver), a derelict sees him. Another factor is an IOU that is left at the crime scene. It would implicate the young inventor. It then becomes about blackmail. This man and his partner, a little weasel, actually move into the lush apartment. The wife, who turns out to be as bad as these guys, must bide her time. Unfortunately for our hero, some mistakes are made along the way that he must deal with. The wife is the best character in the whole thing. She is mean and grasping and without any moral turpitude. Newton is really good too, hamming it up something fierce.
