Storyline
A successful banker, Anthony P. Kirby, has just returned from Washington, D.C., where he was effectively granted a government-sanctioned munitions monopoly, which will make him very rich. Kirby instructs his real estate broker, John Blakely, to offer a huge sum for the house, and if that is not accepted, to cause trouble for the family.
