The story

thumb|thumbtime=15|The Benson Murder Case (1930) In the midst of the Wall Street crash of 1929, Anthony Benson, a ruthless stockbroker, is force-selling the unsecured investments of his friends and colleagues on-margin to compensate for the loss of collateral; including those of his affluent and well-connected friend, Harry Gray. In his office, Benson accuses Adolf Mohler, a shallow gigolo, of forging a check to pay for a trinket that he put on-loan for one of his lovers, Mrs. Paula Banning.
