The story

"Ready Money" Ryder, a powerful financial magnate, advises Judge Ross to purchase Pacific Oil stock. When Ross follows this advice, it is later publicized that he accepted the stock as a bribe. A letter in Ryder's possession would prove the judge's innocence by showing the purchase was legitimate, but Ryder, angered by a past court decision against him, withholds the letter to ruin Ross's reputation.
