The Profiteers

Attorney Richard Randall has been doing a speaking tour in which he denounces post-World War I food profiteers. This is dangerous business, as one of the worst profiteers, Everett Dearing , is determined to stop him. Dearing enlists the help of lounge lizard Tony Terle to maneuver Randall's wife Beverley into a compromising position. She is taken to a roadhouse, photographs are taken, and Dearing threatens to publish the pictures if Randall doesn't shut up.
