Last week the owner-occupant of the mansion had worse than mortgages pay-able-on-demand to think about. One evening the momentary peace of his after-dinner cigaret was shattered by the entrance of a U. S. marshal who promptly arrested him. Not even allowed to summon his own chauffeur, he was whisked downtown to a Federal judge in an automobile which the marshal had hastily borrowed. One of the prisoner's battalion of lawyers, Robert H. Thayer, suddenly called from a party, arrived in the courtroom in evening clothes, arranged for $10,000 bail. Two hours later...
...typical Delmar character, the cab driver, George Raft, and the pick-up fall in love. He becomes a garage owner, and they live happily in the suburbs until a hard-boiled society girl overcomes Mr. Raft.

S. racing; a family which, for half a century, has been at the forefront...
