A prosperous new firm has been founded on the ruins of an old, though it has taken the board six years to recover their good name following an embezzlement by one of their members. One of the creditors of the old firm took his life in despair, and his daughter has taken a position with the new firm in order to avenge him. She had discovered the assumed name of the absconder, and by a very clever ruse arranges for him to be present at the time of a board meeting, where she will have him "tried."|4 women, 8 men
