She hearkens to the siren of Hector Dufrane, an "up-to-date, twentieth century" stock broker, and weds him. Dufrane "unloads" worthless stock on Jonathan, taking the old man's entire fortune. The money he squanders on a cabaret singer. The stock fraud is discovered, and Carson protects Dufrane and the singer from a mob which storms his office, until the police rescue him.
