High-society blackmail and elaborate financial forgery collapse when faced with the mild-mannered Mr. J. G. Reeder.

Rather than using overt force, Reeder quietly maneuvers behind the scenes until the fugitive exposes his own hiding place.
Disappearing bank ledgers and stolen bonds lead to an intricate conspiracy organized around an elusive identity. Reeder dismantles the deception through meticulous accounting and quiet observations of minor human habits. His humble demeanor encourages the conspirators to lower their guard, allowing him to recover the missing assets and secure convictions.
