They go to New York, and there by bluff interest a Wall Street magnate in their proposition. After many difficulties it is found that Mike's formula will not make gold of baser metals, but that it is a perfection of "puncture proof rubber." This formula brings Mike and Louie riches and Claire discovers that her millionaire can do something and agrees to marry him.
Danger Within Synopsis
A ruthless, miserly millionaire wakes up one day and finds that a quarantine sign reading "Danger Within!" has been tacked onto the front door of his mansion, and guards have been stationed outside to make sure that no one enters or leaves the building. The only other person in the house is Dolly, his chief clerk's six-year-old daughter, who went into the house out of curiosity just before it was quarantined.
"Bluff" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Danger Within" offers its own unique cult appeal.
