The story
When chemist Sir George Kessler discovers "Helozone", an antidote to poison gas, the directors of his company agree that it must be used for the greater good of humanity rather than being exploited for commercial gain. However, crook Roger Stoneham hears of the company's breakthrough. He manipulates High Latimer, a Kessler employee over whom he holds some leverage, and subsequently buys up enough shares to secure a controlling interest in the company.
