The Broadway Gallant

Helen Stuart is a pawn in a high-stakes financial shell game orchestrated by her own blood. Her uncle and guardian, Jack Peasley, has siphoned her inheritance into a black hole of worthless railroad stock, leaving a massive deficit in her estate. To avoid prison, Peasley conspires with a swindler named Red Sweeney to trigger a legal loophole: if Helen marries before she turns twenty-one, the estate management remains under Peasley’s control. They choose Monty Barnes, a seemingly aimless socialite, to be the unwitting husband in their scheme. What the villains don't realize is that Monty, the 'Broadway Gallant,' possesses a level of physical resourcefulness and moral fiber that threatens to dismantle their house of cards from the inside out.
