Million Dollar Racket

Millionaire Larry Duane (Bruce Bennett billed under his real name of Herman Brix) is posing as his own chauffeur while touring the West and meets Molly Hennessey (Joan Barclay.) They have a small romance until it is ended when her father (Sam Adams) strikes oil and moves his family east to satistify his wife's social aspirations. Larry also return east to close his estate for the summer, but stays on, still posing as the chauffeur, when he learns that Molly's family is renting the place. He immediately suspects the phony friends they have gathered to be con men. Whem Mrs. Hennessey (Vane Calvert) plans a social-climbing dinner affair with the intentions of wearing all her new jewelry, Larry makes plans to prevent her being robbed by her unsavory guests. Molly still thinks he is the chauffeur and has fallen in love with him, but Larry does not want to reveal his true status until he is sure she will marry him thinking he is just a chauffeur. He traps the gang after they have stolen the jewels and the Butler accidently tells the family who he really is. This news, of course, sets well with his prospective mother-in-law.
