The story

Walter Ramsey, the ruthless head of Ramsey & Company, a Manhattan-based industrial corporation inherited from his father, recruits Fred Staples, a young industrial engineer whose work at an Ohio factory has impressed him, for a senior position at company headquarters. Though Staples is initially unaware, Ramsey is grooming him to replace the aging Bill Briggs as the second-in-command at the company. Briggs has been with the firm for forty years, having worked for and admired the company's founder, Ramsey's father.
