Hagson has won a little money playing cards, and Froman has studied The Road to Success from cover to cover. Together, they begin speculating in stocks and old houses on Södermalm. Jan Froman falls in love with Margareta, whose father is an admiral. At the bank, people begin to wonder who is so successfully managing to get the better of the bank in stock deals and property transactions.
