The loan sharking business has that want for money on both sides. He tells the story of one such loan shark, Stephen Hanley, who tried to pass his company off as a legitimate loan business, but who charged exorbitant rates, and used extortion and fraud to get out of his customers even more than what they may have owed on paper. McCormick, a news publisher, makes it his aim to expose Hanley for the loan shark he really is. But getting Hanley's disgruntled clients to cooperate is more difficult than expected, as Hanley's men not only use threats, but carry out those threats in scaring those who are going to talk and eventually sign affidavits against Hanley. Something unexpected and sad has to happen for the authorities to be able to haul in Hanley and his entire outfit. Written by Huggo See less
