E-text prepared by Richard Halsey
Fred Fearnot has just turned the tables on Wall Street, swapping his bullish reputation for a bear’s caution after a high‑stakes market swing. Together with his sharp‑witted partner Terry, he fends off relentless pressure from rival brokers, most notably the scheming Broker Bellamy, whose desperate attempts to sabotage Fred culminate in a violent showdown with hired thugs. The pair’s quick thinking and sheer grit not only repel the attackers but also expose the deeper conspiracies threading through the trading floor.
With the dust settled and a modest profit in hand, Fred and Terry decide it’s time to leave the city’s relentless gossip behind. They set their sights on a new ranch in Texas, hoping to add a thousand head of cattle to the herd and build a quieter life. Their old friend Jack, eager to bring his mother and sweetheart Katy down south, writes to join the venture, promising fresh beginnings for both business and friendship.
