The story

When Alan Beckwith hits rock bottom, he approaches a local Mob boss named North to help him get his affairs in order before he kills himself. If North will stake him for what he owes, he will name him as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy which North can collect on after he commits suicide. North initially rejects the offer, pointing out that a life insurance policy would have a clause in it about suicide, preventing it from paying out before a year and a day, but he later accepts under his own conditions.
