He is also a firm believer in the fact that no man is great until he is dead. He decides to test the theory by leaving the impression that he has committed suicide. When it has become known that Dunbar Crane is dead, Crane masquerades as his own father. He offers his own paintings for sale and finds that there is a demand for them at fabulous prices. When the lot is depleted Crane finds himself the proud possessor of a considerable fortune and a reputation in art circles, and these he shares with the little girl who has been his only friend in time of stress.
