The story

The unscrupulous Jimmy Corrigan runs an agency that searches for heirs of those who have died without leaving a will, and often provides phony claimants in order to collect his fee. When his former girlfriend Joan Martin, who left him because of his lack of ethics, accepts a position at the allegedly legitimate firm owned by Charles Wallingham, Corrigan investigates Wallingham's background and discovers his rival is even more crooked than he is. He exposes Wallingham as a phony and promises Joan to go straight if she will come back to him.
